“That’s where I scream and shout a lot,” he noted. “Tom, I’ve been honoured to do some pretty cool, amazing things in my career, experiences and opportunities in my life, but man, this opportunity to be the voice of a video game franchise I grew up playing, so iconic, it’s just amazing to me.” “It was honestly the most amazing moment,” he said.
Three years ago, Cybulski auditioned for EA three times and ultimately got the gig as voice of the company’s “NHL” game. I did minor hockey games, touch football, lacrosse games – a whole bunch of different sports, and I was young, all between the age of 17 and 23, in Ottawa, growing up.” “I called ringette championships, university football games, basketball, karate tournaments, a pre-Olympic boxing tournament in 1992. “I did it to get my reps, and any opportunity that presented itself, I would do,” Cybulski added. The whole time through high school, I volunteered at community television while going to school and working, for about six years there. “Out of school, I had a chance to call Ottawa 67s games, on the radio for awhile. “The whole reason I wanted to get into the (broadcasting) business was to be a play-by-play guy, that was always the dream,” he explained. Turns out, being a play-by-play broadcaster was Cybulski’s desire all along.

He stick-handled his way into sports broadcasting and show hosting for TV and radio outlets over the past couple of decades, both here and in Toronto, and recently landed a job calling games for the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks. The game graphics have come a long way since those early days, of course – and so has Cybulski. You know, ‘OK, let’s turn on the (game system) and let’s go, let’s settle this!’”
It’s funny, I’ve always been an NHL video game guy, whether it’s playing as a teenager, or you know, playing in the my 20s and then even into my 30s, coming home after having way too many with my buddies and than trash-talking.

“I played ‘NHL 94’ on my Sega Genesis (game system), then evolved to playing on the PC around ‘NHL 98,’ then converted myself to become a PlayStation guy. “I played the game as a kid, in the early- to mid-’90s,” he recalled. “This is breakthrough hockey.”Ī post shared by James Cybulski NHL title has been part of Cybulski’s life for more than a quarter-century, starting in his old Ottawa ‘hood. The video game offers “a huge leap forward in graphics” and the arrival of Superstar X-Factors, which “unlocks the unique skills of the league’s most elite players,” raves a post on the Burnaby-based game company’s website (ea.com).
“My vote for Ryan Reaves was clearly ignored,” he deadpanned on Instagram back in August. “I’d say you aren’t the only one saying, ‘What, AGAIN?! He was on the cover just two years ago!” Cybulski said with a laugh, in a phone call. The latest edition, “NHL 22,” was released in mid-October with Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews on the box cover – again, for the second time since 2020. “It’s a total dream come true,” the Delta-based broadcaster said with the kind of enthusiasm he brings to the popular game. James Cybulski’s voice can be heard in basements and bedrooms of hockey fans around the world, and he still can’t quite believe he’s in his third year of being the play-by-play guy of EA Sports’ “NHL” video game.
