2007 NHL Draft

I will be attending the NHL Draft in Columbus this year and will be staying overnight so I can watch the first round on Friday and then the second and third rounds on Saturday before heading back to Michigan.

Michael @ Army of Ohio and Drew @ End of the Bench have arranged a hockey blogger get together and it sounds like quite a few bloggers will be there and do a podcast as well (I believe).

What? 2007 Draft blogger gathering

Where? Bud Light Arena Pub Nationwide Arena

When? 4:30pm EST

I am going to the draft with a good friend of mine and she wants to check out the festivities prior to the start of the draft so I think I’m only going to be able to stop by and say hi to the bloggers before 6:15. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up with some of them between the time we’re allowed to find our seats and the start of the draft. I hope to meet as many hockey bloggers there as possible!

What will my friend and I be doing before 6:15? Well, Rick Nash is doing an autograph signing from 4:30-5pm at the Nationwide Kiosk with free photos so it doesn’t cost you anything whatsoever for an autograph. We’ll then head out to the plaza for the free Yellowcard concert and free food (college students really like free food) that goes from 5-6pm.

With my bad knee, I don’t want to carry my laptop around all evening so I will not be liveblogging during the draft. I do plan on taking notes and will post those later that evening when I get back to the hotel or the following day after the third round of the draft.

Update: Since I won’t be updating BTJ until after the first round (and possibly not until after the second and third rounds), here are some websites you should check out for up to the moment information regarding the NHL Draft.

    Christy-I have heard it is a little drafty there so don’t get sick. You can’t be too careful you know.
