The 2025 NHL Entry Draft is set to happen at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This draft will be unique because the league plans a new setup where team managers and scouts will be elsewhere, while players and their families gather in LA. Gary Bettman is busy making arrangements for the event at this 7,100-seat venue near Crypto.com Arena, where the Kings play.
Bettman plans to visit Los Angeles soon to iron out final details with NHL executives. But as of now, there’s not much info on where or even if the NHL Awards will occur in 2025. The league has been taking its events to larger cities lately.
Los Angeles hasn’t hosted an NHL draft since 2010 when it was held at what’s now known as Crypto.com Arena. Fans might find this long-awaited return exciting ! Some fans think it’s cool that big events are coming back to LA after so many years.
Upcoming Changes:
This shift in how drafts are organized could spark mixed feelings among fans who enjoy seeing everything happen live and together. While some may love the idea of change, others might miss the traditional format.
With all these new ideas floating around, one wonders what other surprises might pop up next! Maybe they’ll even consider adding some unexpected twists or rare elements—who knows?
What do you think about these changes? Are you excited for something different?
