E-A Sports announced Wednesday that the star forward with Canada’s national women’s team will share the cover with Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras.

Nurse, 27, had an Olympic-record 18 points to help Canada win the gold medal at this year’s Beijing Games.

Two limited-edition Barbie dolls based on Nurse and fellow hockey player Marie-Philip Poulin were created as part of Barbie’s You Can Be Anything program – a campaign to inspire “girls to reach their potential through imaginative play.”

NHL player Darnell Nurse of the Edmonton Oilers and basketball player Kia Nurse of the Phoenix Mercury are the hockey star’s cousins.
