EA Sports wants to reward you for playing NHL 17

We're still a few weeks away from the launch of NHL 17, and while we'll have some impressions of the latest beta test up here soon, there's plenty of news coming out about the hottest game on ice.

EA Sports has announced the new EA NHL Rewards program, a program that requires just a simple sign-up in the link that can net players some benefits.

EA SPORTS™ NHL Rewards™ members can receive awesome hockey rewards, in-game digital content for Hockey Ultimate Team, and other great surprises throughout the season*. You’ll also be the first to get EA SPORTS NHL 17 news, trailers, and other exclusive content. Sign up to become an EA SPORTS™ NHL Rewards™ member today by registering below.

NHL Rewards is currently open to players in the United States and Canada. Only players living in the United States and Canada are eligible for digital and physical rewards. Players located outside of these countries are not currently eligible for NHL Rewards.

It appears that simply signing up and playing the game will get players points and rewards along the way, but there isn't much else beyond it. There is a guaranteed 10% off the NHL.com shop as well as Ultimate Team rewards, but we'll have more when it becomes available and more clear.
