Top 4 things to do at the Draft

The NHL Draft is coming to Chicago for the first time ever, and you were lucky enough to snag tickets to the two-day event. Not sure how to spend your time? Here are the four things you can't miss at the NHL Draft.

Round 1
A new crop of NHL hopefuls wait to hear their name called at the United Center. Be in your seats by 6 p.m. so you don't miss the No. 1 pick. The Blackhawks will make their first pick of the Draft at No. 26.
Come back on Saturday to see the next generation of stars don their team's sweaters for the first time in Rounds 2-7, beginning at 9 a.m. With 10 draft picks over the course of two days, it will certainly be a busy weekend for the host team.
