Despite a possible lockout looming, the NHL Players' Association is getting ready for the 2012 NHLPA Rookie Showcase. Happening on August 28 in Toronto, the event will see 30 of the game's top prospects participate.
Panini and Upper Deck will both be on hand. EA Sports will also be there to take photos to be used in NHL 13.
