HTN: Pat Kane on Cover of NHL '09

South Buffalo native and Chicago Blackhawk Patrick Kane is the cover man for this year's EA Sports NHL video game. The twenty-year-old was drafted first overall two years ago, and is now the youngest player ever chosen for the cover. Kane says that it's exciting to be on the cover of his favorite video game, after only two years of professional play. Kane won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the Year in 2008, and this last season helped lead the Blackhawks to the Western Conference Finals. He's scored more than 20 goals and registered more than 70 points in each of his first two seasons.

The move could negatively impact the Buffalo Sabres, who earn an estimated 20-percent of their revenues from the Southern Ontario market. The Coyotes recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
