The 2010 NHL draft will be held in Los Angeles June 25-26, marking the first time in its 46-year history that the event will be held in California.
The NHL announced Friday that the Los Angeles Kings will host the draft at Staples Center.
Round 1 will be broadcast live on June 25 by Versus, as well as NHL Radio, beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
The NHL Network will carry rounds 2-7 beginning at 1 p.m. ET on June 26.
The draft has rotated among different cities for more than 20 years. It was held last June at Bell Centre in Montreal.
The NHL again will hold its award show in Las Vegas just before the draft.
Plymouth Whalers center Tyler Seguin was rated the top OHL prospect in preliminary rankings released by NHL Central Scouting last month.
