The NHL will officially announce Friday that the Los Angeles Kings will host the 2010 NHL Draft at Staples Center on June 25-26, the Kings are reporting on their Web site.

It will be the first time that the League's selection process has been held in Southern California and only the third time ever on the West Coast. Vancouver was the host for the draft in 1990 and 2006.

Montreal hosted the Entry Draft last June, with the New York Islanders choosing center John Tavares with the No. 1 pick.
