The demo will be released in North America on Tuesday August 17th at 5AM  for X360, and between 5-8PM  for PS3. EA will be releasing a blog detailing the demo this weekend. They will be discussing GM, Be a Pro, and EASHL in the near future.

Like last season we will get a chance Battle for The Cup in the demo. But instead of playing with the greatest team in the NHL, it will be Chicago vs filthy, 3rd period of Game 7.

We will also get a first look at HUT. What is included in HUT will be a starter pack, with a mix of prospects and some rare cards. You will get to play through an offline tournament. Each portion of the tournament bracket you get to play will be the 3rd period of the game. You win? you move on, you lose? you start from the beginning of the tourney.

Here are some ways you can earn some free HUT packs through the demo. 1) Play the demo. 2) Win the HUT tourney in the demo 3) Invite a friend to the NHL11 demo. To be clear, you will NOT earn 2 packs if you play the demo and win the HUT tourney. You will either get 1 free pack for playing the demo, or 1 free pack for winning the tourney. So when you play the demo, you have an opportunity to get 2 free packs for your actual HUT team in NHL11.

Here are some details on the New Shiz Coming September 7th
