EA Canada is not planning on bringing their popular NHL series to Nintendo's new handheld/console hybrid at this time.
The latest EA Sports hockey title NHL 18 has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
"...a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service..."
Kinda like how my cable TV channels are free, if I subscribe to the cable TV service I guess?
I have to say, $30/year this service has great value. I'd probably allow myself 5 or 6 major publishers if I got that kind of value out of their subscriptions.
It looks like hockey will joining the growing trend of tsports getting into esports. The National Hockey League will host the 2018 NHL Gaming World Championship, where fans of the virtual ice can compete for a share of a $100,000 prize pool and a chance to be a part of the 2018 NHL awards.

So much for substantial third party support
So what's the excuse for not bringing it to PC along with Madden?
This is 2K's chance. Bring the NHL series back, though model it after the late great NHL 2K5 with better player and goalie animation. I'm buying NBA 2K 18 on Switch (if it plays well) to show support, and to state; "I want quality sports titles on the Switch."
