September 7, 2010, the Chicago Blackhawks’ under-24 Stanley Cup winning tandem of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews will do what people under 24 do:  play video games. The two generation X’ers who faced off in the 2010 Olympics and raised the cup together will now raise video game controllers to on the streets of Manhattan at the Reebok Store to kick off the release of EA Sports’ NHL 11.

The two players will apparently compete in a live trick shot competition before playing USA vs. Canada on EA’s newest hockey game.  The first 100 fans will also get their NHL 11 copy signed by the stars.

The game was given an 8.5 rating by IGN.com.
