<p>If you signed up for <a href="http://ift.tt/28VPior">the NHL 17 beta by July 7</a>, then you&#8217;ll gain access to it starting tomorrow. However, you can play it today if you&#8217;re also an NHL Insider&#8211;a fancy title for someone who receives EA Sports NHL newsletters.</p>
<p>If you signed up, you&#8217;ll have three <a href="http://ift.tt/28Pu0cH">NHL 17</a> beta codes in your email inbox. You only need one of these, so you can pass the other two to friends. You&#8217;ll have to enter the codes into the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store to start the download. Once it&#8217;s finished installing, you can get on the ice and start playing.</p>
<p>The modes included in tomorrow&#8217;s beta are Hockey Ultimate Team, where you collect hockey cards to build a team you can take to the ice; EA Sports Hockey League, a mode that has you creating a team and facing others online; and Online Versus, which has you going up against other players in a one-on-one game.</p>
<p>This is your last chance to play before the game launches on September 13 for <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PS4</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a>. The beta lasts until August 4.</p>
