There's a new NHL 09 demo available for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace and it can best be described as "hockey'licious". (They should have totally used that as the demo description.) The demo is said to include the "Be a Pro" mode, but online multiplayer play seems to be lacking. We think EA says it best, "if you love sports video games, you have to try this demo" and if you don't love sports games, turn up your nose and go back to your regularly scheduled gaming habits.

So I guess this means Dustin went back to playing Gears 5 minutes after posting this?

This is going to be one of the best sports games ever. EA has done a great job at listening to the community and the EASHL should be sweet!

Being a hockey player, 08 was amazing so I can't wait to try out 09, (also being from MI and a Red Wings fan its time to give the Pens another loss)

I have been looking to forward to NHL 09 for a while now. Tried the NHL 2K9 demo & it was ok, but NHL 09 should be the one to buy this season!

It was a good demo, and an improvement over 08 in many ways... which is saying something because 08 was fantastic.
