Today 2K Sports announced that Ryan Kesler, forward (or center according to ESPN) for the Vancouver Canucks and Olympic athlete, will be the cover athlete for NHL 2K11. Kesler was chosen for his inspiring performance on the US hockey team for the 2010 Olympics.

"Having the opportunity to participate in the Olympics and play in front of my home crowd was one of the best experiences of my life. To now be chosen as the next cover athlete for NHL 2K11 is another dream come true."

Kesler was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 2003 and went on to receive the Cyclone Taylor award last year as the team's MVP. In the image above you can see some motion capture of Kesler for the 2K11 cover, which took place at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
