Hey NHL Gamers,
this week, Sony revealed two new PlayStation 4 models: Slim and Pro.
In short: While the Slim model will replace the original model going forward, by offering the same features with up to 28% less power consumption, the new Pro model is aimed at the core gamer with improved hardware and some new features.
The US PlayStation Blog compiled a nice FAQ about the PlayStation 4 Pro, with lots of burning questions about what to expect from this new console. If you want to catch up on all the details, please have a look:

What does it mean for NHLGamer.com and NHL 17?
For the website and it's tournaments, the new PS4 Pro won't have any impact. The Pro, Slim and Original models all play the same games within the same community - so all owners across these models can still play together and against each other. There will not be seperate tournaments.
For NHL 17 itself, the impact is yet to be detailed. With the PS4 Pro releasing on November 10th this year, NHL 17 would require a game update to fully take advantage of the model's improved hardware (e.g. better graphics, higher framerate). At this point, EA already revealed support for FIFA 17 and Battlefield 1, so there is a chance NHL 17 will receive a similar update. In case it does not, NHL 17 will be the same experience as on the standard PS4 models - however, if you are a 4K TV owner, the PS4 Pro will uprender the resolution to 4K for a crisper image.
What do you think about the new PlayStation 4 Pro? Would you like for EA to support the new model with this year's NHL iteration?
