Buy NHL Draft Tickets

Be the first to see which rising players make the cut when you buy NHL Draft tickets. The NHL Draft is a yearly gathering of the franchises of the National Hockey League in which they take turns selecting rising hockey players from North America and Europe. Generally speaking, the NHL Draft is held within three months of the conclusion of the regular season. Selected players range from amateurs to junior/collegiate players to European professionals. 

The inaugural NHL Draft was held in 1963 and has since taken place every year. In 1980 the NHL Draft became a public event and was televised for the first time in 1984. For most of its history, the order of team picks was based on the regular-season standings. In 1995 however, a lottery was introduced that prioritized teams that had not qualified for the playoffs. The chances of winning the lottery are weighed in favor of teams at the bottom of the regular-season standings. The NHL Draft is usually held in Toronto just before the Stanley Cup playoffs. 

Whether you are a die-hard hockey fan or new to the sport, you will not want to miss your chance to grab NHL Draft tickets and see which players make the cut.
