Over the weekend the LA Kings kicked off their 2009-10 season with interactive events and face-to-face time among fans at the first ever Hockey Fest in LA.
KIngs fans all day swarmed the EA SPORTS booth at LA Kings Fest to get an early look and some hands-on time with what's become one of the most eagerly anticipated games this summer in NHL 10.
Today the LA Kings organization had their opening day of Hockey Fest and EA SPORTS was invited to not only be a part of the festivities with a large chunk of space carved out with systems set up to show off NHL 10, we were also invited to meet some of the Kings prior to their walking on to the stage to meet their fans at the Nokia Center.
It's out there. PlayStation 3 and XBOX Silver fans who have been listening to their XBOX Gold counterparts now have a chance to see what all the talk is about. For the past week, gamers have been posting their impressions of the demo on the forums and on a whole, the game has put fans over the top with a game that has already received acclaim over the past two years.
