Hockey is one of those sports (alongside Baseball) that aren't very popular here in Italy, much to my dismay, as it always looked quite a lot more interesting than Soccer, that happens to be all the rage around here, but I digress.

Today EA Sports released an extensive gameplay video of NHL 13, in which producer Ben Ross explains some of the new features of the game, showing us how they'll look in action.

The ability to backskate freely and the new goalie features are covered extensively, but there's a lot to take in across the board. You can check out the whole video below.
