Overnight Twitter sensation Tony X is stretching his 15 minutes of fame to the limit.

After accidentally watching his first NHL game during the St. Louis Blues' playoff run and live tweeting the experience, he amassed almost 90,000 Twitter followers and was even given free tickets to a Blues game.

Now, Tony X, whose real name is Anthony Holmes, will join a mixed bag of presenters in handing out hardware to the NHL's very best at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The list also includes magicians Penn and Teller, Hockey Hall of Famers Dominik Hasek and Mark Messier, and sports broadcasters Elliotte Friedman and Anson Carter.

The reaction to the NHL's announcement was mixed, with some saying Tony X didn't do anything special to earn the honour.

There's really no reason this Tony X kid should be at the NHL awards. —@BradenOwen_92

Why is Tony X at the NHL Awards. He had his 15 minutes of fame. Brb. Going to "accidentally discover and fall in love" with the Knicks. —@JazzYands

Others threw their support behind the NHL for their surprise decision, because if anyone is going to provide the most candid live tweets from the awards it might as well be Tony X.

Don't know if I'm late to this, but Tony X is presenting an NHL Award tomorrow. The NHL did something right! —@MCHisTweeting

Whether you think he deserves to be there or not, on Wednesday night Tony X will be doing something a lot of NHL fans can only dream of — rubbing elbows with the likes of Jamie Benn, Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby.
