NHL 11 Cover Athlete: Jonathan Toews

[TeamLogo]

It looks like Jonathan Toews is the cover athlete for NHL 11.

EDIT: Looks like EA took the page down, but OS has you covered.

UPDATE: Jonathan Toews scheduled for The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno, tonight.

Re: Jonathan Toews NHL 11 cover

Even though Kane was on it last year, I can't think of anybody better to put on the cover.

Re: Jonathan Toews NHL 11 cover

With the faceoffs and new checking improvements I guess it made sense to go with a Center. Why not get the top one off of the champs. Besides the game sold like hot cakes with a drunk mullet wearing hooligan that beats up taxi drivers on the front cover. Toews from what I've seen doesn't carry himself like a scumbag off the ice so they shouldn't have that problem this year.

Also note under Overview it says EASHL Dynasties with a all new practice mode and a Banner Raising ceremony if you win a season or something (perhaps custom EASHL arenas?)

Re: Jonathan Toews NHL 11 cover

Definitely not a bad cover choice, but it is strange that they're going with 2 Blackhawks in a row.

It's so crazy seeing a typical, everyday kid from Winnipeg make it big like this. Makes me proud to be from here lol.

Re: Jonathan Toews NHL 11 cover

BTW, I wonder if this means there will be an Ultimate Team mode like in Madden and FIFA:

Whether you’re beginning your career in the Canadian Hockey League, dominating rivals in the EA SPORTS Hockey League, or assembling Hockey’s Ultimate Team, any moment can be a ‘WOW’ moment with NHL 11.

...because last year it was a blackhawk and there are 30 teams

Was expecting Ryan Miller this year, but that just may be the homer in me talking. Oh, well. No use complaining over software packaging.

Interesting that banner raising ceremonies are back. Wonder if they'll be used in Be a GM like in NHL 05-07 last-gen. No other sports game has done anything like that since. It'd be interesting to see something like this again:
