5. Another excuse to do something on a Friday night
If nothing else, the NHL draft gives reason to get together with like-minded fans. Visit your local sports bar, go out and buy your favorite pre-game food and beverage for your draft party, or just stay in if you’re financially strapped this weekend.
In fact, most cities with an NHL team have a Draft watch event, put on by the team themselves. It’s an opportunity to get together with other fans and discuss everything hockey. Plus, it is much safer for you, then going out to a club or going to a place that’s sketchy.
It’s a cheap alternative and you may have fun doing it.
