A Running Gallery: Panini America’s Day Two at the 2011 NHLPA Rookie Showcase

TORONTO, Ontario — Things are moving at a brisk pace this morning inside Toronto’s MasterCard Centre on Day Two of the 2011 NHLPA Rookie Showcase.

The morning began with the 26 rookie prospects on hand meeting the strong throng of media amid a red-carpet ambiance — and then gave way to the meat of the shoot for Panini America: A day filled with studio photography, on-ice action photography, interviews and a whole lot of fun.

Inside the Panini America marketing room on the MasterCard Centre’s second floor, the brightest young hockey talent on the planet is signing a few autographs, conducting a few interviews and, yes, even letting their creative sides show with some Sketch Card 1/1s.

We’ll update this post throughout the day with tons of images documenting the day’s festivities. Check back often for new pics.
