NHL 14 is an ice hockey video game.
It was developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports.
It was released on September 10, 2013 in North America, September 12, 2013 in Australasia, and on September 13, 2013 in Europe.
The game was the 23rd in the NHL video game series and is the sequel to NHL 13.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur is shown on the cover of the game.
This is the first time since NHL 97 that a goaltender has been featured on the cover.
IGN rated the game a 8.3 out of 10.
They said, "With much better collisions and a vastly improved fighting minigame, NHL 14 is becoming more gamey and less of a simulation, but that gives it a distinct and interesting flavor compared to its predecessors."
GameSpot gave the game a 6 out of 10.
They said, "NHL 14 adds little of note to NHL 13 aside from better hitting, more fighting, and a disappointing NHL 94 retro mode."
NHL 13 is an ice hockey video game.

You also get robust online and offline modes that could potentially keep you busy for hundreds of hours."
GameSpot gave the game a 8 out of 10.
They said, "NHL 13 adds some great new skating physics and smarter AI, although you've already seen a lot of what the game has to offer."

Nigersaurus (meaning "Niger reptile") is a genus of Diplodocus-like sauropod dinosaur.
It lived in the middle of the Cretaceous period in what is now the Republic of Niger.
Fossils of this dinosaur were first described in 1976, but it was only named in 1999 after more complete remains were found and described.
Its skull was very different from Diplodocus, suggesting a different feeding method.
It had many fenestrae (openings) and thin bones.
It had a wide muzzle filled with more than 500 teeth.
They were replaced often: about every 14 days the whole set were replaced together.
The jaws may have had a keratinous sheath, something like a wide beak.
Its jaws were wider than the skull, and its teeth were placed far to the front.
Nigersaurus was  long, which is small for a sauropod, and had a short neck.
It weighed around 4 tonnes, comparable to a modern elephant.
Its skeleton was filled with air sacs, which lightened the weight.
Its limbs were robustly built.
Nigersaurus was probably a browser, and fed with its head close to the ground.
The region of its brain that detected smell was small, although its brain size was comparable to that of other dinosaurs.
There has been debate on whether its head was habitually held downwards, or horizontally like other sauropods.
It lived in a riparian habitat (near rivers).
Its diet probably consisted of soft plants, such as ferns, horsetails, and angiosperms.
It is one of the most common fossil vertebrates found in the area, and shared its habitat with other large herbivores, as well as large theropods and crocodylomorphs.

Procyon (α CMi, α Canis Minoris, Alpha Canis Minoris) is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.
To the naked eye, it appears to be a single star, the eighth brightest in the night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of 0.34.
The reason for its brightness is not its intrinsic luminosity but its relative closeness to the Sun.
Its distance was worked out by the European Space Agency Hipparcos astrometry satellite.
It is just  away, and is one of our nearest stellar neighbours.
Its closest neighbour is Luyten's Star, about  away.
Procyon forms one of the three vertices of the Winter Triangle, along with Sirius and Betelgeuse.
Its colour index is 0.42, and its hue has been described as having a faint yellow tinge to it.

Dwarf stars refers to several types of star.
The term was originally used in 1906 by the Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung.
He noticed that the reddest stars—classified as K and M in the Harvard scheme—could be divided into two distinct groups.
To distinguish these groups, he called them "giant" and "dwarf" stars.
The dwarf stars were fainter and the giants brighter than the sun.
Dwarf star: this usually refers to any main-sequence star, a star of luminosity class V.
Red dwarfs are low-mass main-sequence stars.
Yellow dwarfs are main-sequence (dwarf) stars with masses similar to the Sun.
A white dwarf is a star composed of electron-degenerate matter.
This may be the final stage in the evolution of stars not massive enough to collapse into a neutron star or undergo a Type II supernova—stars less massive than about 9 solar masses.
A black dwarf is a white dwarf which has cooled enough that it no longer emits any visible light.
A brown dwarf is a "substellar object".
It is not massive enough to ever fuse hydrogen into helium, but still massive enough to fuse deuterium—less than about 0.08 solar masses and more than about 13 Jupiter masses.

Egocentrism is a state of mind of putting oneself in the center of interest, of being interested more about oneself than about other people.
While this is normal in young children, it becomes more and more of a problem, in older children, adolescents and adults.
To egocentric people, self-relevant information is seen as more important in shaping one’s judgments than are thoughts about others and other-relevant information.
The term egocentrism was mostly coined by Piaget, a psychologist.
Egocentrism is different from both egoism and narcissism.
Young children are egocentric: they see themselves as the "center" of the world.
Developing self-conscience requires the perception that there are others, that there is socialistion with other people, and that there are differences between oneself and other people.
Egocentric people are often unable to fully understand or to cope with other people's opinions.
The fact that reality can be different from what they are ready to accept is difficult for them.

Iona () is a small island in the Inner Hebrides off the western coast of Scotland.
When Columba arrived with twelve monks in 563 he founded a great monastery.
From that time Iona was known as a holy place.
It was the center of Scottish Christianity for many centuries.
Today it is a popular tourist attraction and a place for retreats.
Its modern Gaelic name means "Iona of (Saint) Columba" (formerly anglicised "Icolmkill").
The village
The main settlement, located at St. Ronan's Bay on the eastern side of the island, is called Baile Mòr.
It is known locally as "The Village".
The primary school, post office, the island's two hotels, the Bishop's House and the ruins of the Iona nunnery are here.
The abbey and MacLeod Centre are a short walk to the north.
There are a number of offshore Islands nearby.
Eilean Annraidh (island of storm) and Eilean Chalbha (calf island) are larger islands to the north.
Rèidh Eilean and Stac MhicMhurchaidh Islands lay to the west of Iona.
Eilean Mùsimul (mouse holm island) and Soa Island are to the south.
At the start, Iona was a part of the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata.
The island was the site of a highly important monastery during the Early Middle Ages.
According to tradition the monastery was founded in 563 by the monk Columba, also known as Colm Cille, who had been exiled from his native Ireland.
Columba and twelve companions went into exile on Iona and founded a monastery there.
The monastery was very successful, and played a large part in the conversion of the Picts to Christianity.
It also had an influence on the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.
Many other monasteries were founded in Scotland and Iona became the center of a great monastic system.
The scriptorium produced many very important documents.
Christian center
The monastery itself became the center of Celtic Christianity.
Iona was a major supporter of the "Celtic" system for calculating the date of Easter.
The missionaries and bishops who came to Britain from Rome used a Roman calculation for the date of Easter.
This issue was settled when they adopted the Roman system at the Synod of Whitby in 664.
Pictland adopted the Roman system in the early 8th century.
Iona changed systems in 716, according to the Anglo-Saxon historian Bede.
Iona's prominence was reduced over the next centuries as a result of Viking raids and the rise of other powerful monasteries in the system, such as the Abbey of Kells.
The Book of Kells was created on Iona about the year 800.
At about the same time the island's high crosses were erected.
They had a ring around the top part that became the symbol called a "Celtic cross".
The series of Viking raids on Iona began in 794 and, after its treasures had been plundered many times, Columba's relics were removed and divided two ways between Scotland and Ireland in 849 as the monastery was abandoned.
Kingdom of the Isles
As the Viking control of the west coast of Scotland advanced, Iona became part of the Kingdom of the Isles.
Amlaíb Cuarán, King of Northumbria and Dublin, died in 981 while on Iona.
Still, the island was sacked twice by his successors.
On Christmas night 986 and again in 987.
The ruling dynasty of Alba traced its origin to Iona, and the island thus became an important religious icon of the new kingdom.
Many of its early kings are buried there.
The kings of the Isles were at times vassals of the King of Norway, High King of Ireland, or the King of Scotland.
By the 11th century they were nominally attached to the Kingdom of Norway, but in reality they were independent.
A convent for Benedictine nuns was established in about 1208, with Bethóc, daughter of Somerled, as first prioress.
The present Benedictine abbey, Iona Abbey, was built in about 1203.
The monastery itself flourished until the Reformation when buildings were demolished and all but three of the 360 carved crosses destroyed.
Kingdom of Scotland
According to tradition, the first "King of Scots" was Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín).
He founded the beginnings of what we know as Scotland in 843.
The Reilig Cemetery on Iona was from that time until the 11th century the place where Scottish kings were buried.
In total there are about forty-eight Scottish kings buried at Iona.
In addition, eight kings of Norway and four kings of Ireland are buried on Iona.
Following the 1266 Treaty of Perth the Isles (Hebrides) were restored to Scottish rule.
An Augustine nunnery survives as a number of 13th century ruins, including a church and cloister.
The nunnery continued to be active until the Reformation.
By the 1760s little more of the nunnery remained standing than at present, though it is the most complete remnant of a medieval nunnery in Scotland.
