2011 nhl young star game

Downtown Raleigh provided great entertainment for NHL fans from all ages and gave fans opportunities to get up close with their favorite players.

Over the course of the weekend, several top plays and events occurred. Eric Staal is already considered one of the best players in the NHL today, and he's still a very young player. Over the course of the NHL All-Star Weekend, he proved that he has turned into an even more mature and outstanding player, putting on a show in front of his Carolina Hurricane's fan base.

Talking with many fans during and after both of the events, it was clear to me that the Raleigh community did a great job of providing good fun and entertainment for NHL fans of all ages from around the globe.

Team Lidstrom did perform well in the Skills Challenge Relay, recording the first and third fastest times. However, other than doing well in that competition, they were overmatched all night. Alexander Ovechkin put on quite a show in the Breakaway Challenge, but it was his competitor, P. Subban, that was the crowd favorite to win after wearing Hurricane's rookie Jeff Skinner's jersey while finishing a close second to the Washington Capital's big man.

For the first time at the NHL All-Star Weekend, two captains had the opportunity to choose their individual teams that would compete against each other in the All-Star game.
