A few Blue Devil players and Stout hockey play-by-play announcer Matt Kaskavitch have organized the second annual EA Sports NHL10 Showcase Showdown. The video game madness is set to take place on October 11, 2009 on the UW-Stout campus. The tournament will have both PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms available. The entry cost for participants is $5.

The tournament will be using NHL10 from EA Sports which was just released this week. NHL09 won a plethora of awards including sports game of the year.

A couple of favorites have emerged for the tournament.  Sophomore goaltender Mike Morgan (Northfield, MN) is currently ranked in the top 1000 on Xbox live.  Sophomore Matt Morin is another potential championship contender.

“This is a chance for fans to play against their favorite Blue Devil hockey player on the sticks.” said Matt Kaskavitch.
