i may be wrong but Im pretty sure there is no nhl. Otherwise it would have a different name and not be based around international.

Anywho I really am looking forward to this. It should be great. Any more info??

Seeing the title it will most likely be international teams only. I must say I don't care too much, I'm only interested in gameplay and will probably get this no matter what... Is it Q1 already? yes it is! But with motion capture done last week, it will be a little while... 31 March?
