Breaking: Major announcement in the NHL!

The NHL has just announced that the Dallas Stars will be hosting the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, which will be held at the American Airlines Center on June 22 and 23, 2018. 

The news might have been one of the worst hidden secrets in the NHL, as the league has had the tendency of awarding the event to organizations celebrating particular events, much like it was the case during this years draft. 

Considering the Dallas Stars will be celebrating their 25th year of existence next season, it was a great opportunity to thank their region for their support throughout the years. 

As per NHL.com, Dallas Stars Owner and Governor Tom Gaglardi expressed the following: 

"The Stars organization is honored to host the 2018 NHL Draft during our 25th Anniversary season in Dallas. Since our team moved to North Texas prior to the 1993-1994 season, we have been embraced by the community from day one and are lucky to have one of the most passionate fan bases in the NHL. Over the past 25 years, we have seen the tremendous growth of our sport through youth hockey programs, community involvement and grassroots efforts in the greater Southwest region. The 2018 NHL Draft will serve as a showcase for the next generation of international NHL talent and celebrate the success of hockey in the state of Texas."
