Defy will be available across Canada and the United States. Although, he doesn't provide an official launch date however. With pre-orders being available on December 20th, I would expect we won't have to wait long into the new year for the official launch date.
Love Kane or hate him, he's setting himself up for a life after hockey. I have never subscribed to hockey players needing to stick to one thing, it's nice to see a prominent player explore other ventures while being active(albeit injured at the moment.
