SB Nation: “The NHL plans to be the next professional sports league to launch its own esports equivalent. Commissioner Gary Bettman spoke to the media on Saturday evening before the start of the 2018 NHL All-Star weekend and confirmed what we had heard rumblings of for a few months now — that the league will unveil an esports league.”

“According to Greg Wyshynski of ESPN, the NHL will take the plunge before the end of the regular season when it unveils its esports league centered around its EA Sports game.”
