June 21st, 2010
EA Sports announced today that Chicago Blackhawks Center and Olympic Gold Medalist Jonathon Toews will be the face of NHL 11. This marks the first time that teammates have appeared in back to back years (winger Patrick Kane was the cover athlete of NHL 10).
“I am really excited to be on the cover of NHL 11,” said Toews. “It’s been an amazing year for me and the team, and it’s nice to end it by being a part of a game I played growing up. The NHL games have always been great, so it’s an honor for me to be a part of the EA Sports family.”
NHL 11 will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2010.

Ryan Kesler Covers NHL 2K11
March 9th, 2010
Today 2K Sports announced that Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler is the cover athlete and spokesperson for NHL 2K11.
“Having the opportunity to participate in the Olympics and play in front of my home crowd was one of the best experiences of my life. To now be chosen as the next cover athlete for NHL 2K11 is another dream come true,” said Kesler via a statement. “It was awesome to work with 2K Sports last year on the NHL 2K10 commercial shoot and the outdoor motion capture session on the Las Vegas strip was incredible to be a part of. I’m looking forward to having just as much fun again, and helping them make another great hockey game this year.”
We don’t know a whole lot about the NHL but if you ask us Alexander Ovechkin and Sid the Kid Crosby should just alternate covers every year because they are head and shoulders above every other player in the league.
NHL 2K11 will hit stores this Fall.
