NHL Draft, NHL Awards Coming to Nashville in 2023

Hockey fans in Nashville have an entire week to circle on their 2023 calendars.

The NHL has announced the city will host both the 2023 NHL Draft and the 2023 NHL Awards. The Awards will be held Monday, June 26th, while the Draft will run Wednesday, June 28 through Thursday, June 29.

There had been several hints in recent months that Nashville was the likely destination for next year’s draft, pending some final logistical details. The city previously hosted the 2003 NHL Draft (the Ryan Suter and Shea Weber one.) Next year’s class is sure to have some of the same firepower, with many scouts considering it to be one of the deeper classes in recent memory.
