There are many great young stars in the National Hockey League right now. Among them are the Hughes brothers, who are all blooming into some of the best players on their team.
The first one to enter the league was Quinn Hughes. He was the seventh overall pick made by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2018 NHL Draft.
The middle child is Jack Hughes, whom the New Jersey Devils selected first overall in 2019. In 2021, New Jersey selected Luke Hughes, the youngest brother, fourth overall.
2023-24 was a great year for this trio of brothers as it was the first full season with all of them in the league full-time. Quinn won the Norris Trophy, Jack became the first player in Devils history to have a third straight point-per-game season, and Luke came in third place for the Calder Trophy.
The New Jersey Devils and Vancouver Canucks are lucky to have Hughes brothers
Jack and Quinn are already established superstars in the NHL and Luke isn't far behind. It won't be long before they are considered to be the greatest group of siblings to ever play in the NHL.
On Thursday, after tons of rumors were swirling around, EA Sports NHL announced that all three Hughes brothers are going to grace the cover of their upcoming NHL 25. Being the cover athlete for this game is a high honor that many young kids aspire to have one day.
Hockey is built different, like the Hughes Brothers

This was a wonderful choice made by EA. The Hughes brothers are incredible both on and off the ice. Their love for each other is evident and the fact that all three of them are incredible at hockey makes it even better. They connect well with the new generation of hockey fans.
Vancouver and New Jersey are entering the 2024-25 season with high hopes of being in contention for the playoffs and maybe even a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. Only time will tell if the EA Sports luck will be on their side this year. The one certain thing is that this year's game has a wonderful cover.
