Hometown hockey hero Kyle Turris, a centre drafted third overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in 2007, returned home this summer to face off against local fans and provide people with an advance chance to play the new NHL 2K11 game.

Turris, 20, was on hand at the Best Buy outlet at Queensborough Landing to give gamers a shot to measure their skills against an actual pro through the new Wii video game.

The appearance was part of a North American demo tour for NHL 2K11, which is scheduled for release later this summer.
