Cam Fowler to represent Ducks in NHL Player Gaming Challenge

Taking on a new activity after finishing all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory for some reason, Cam Fowler will be representing the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL’s Player Gaming Challenge, announced earlier today. All 31 teams have at least one representative, though some teams will compete as a tandem. NHL Seattle will also be participating, represented by Luke Willson of the Seattle Seahawks.

From the release:

Over the course of four weeks, beginning April 30, each Club will be represented by one or two current players and featured in a one-time matchup against another Club. Weekly matchups, storylines and broadcast details will be revealed at the beginning of each week. This League esports activation in EA SPORTS™ NHL®20 is a fun and unique way to engage hockey and gaming fans and is supported by the National Hockey League Players’ Association.

As part of the campaign, the NHL Foundation and Electronic Arts will donate a combined $100,000 to the CDC Foundation’s COVID-19 relief efforts, and have created the hashtag #HockeyAtHome to promote social distancing measures. All featured matches will be streamed on the NHL’s social platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook Premiere and NHL.com.
