Nov. 16, 2009: Jack Johnson (No. 3) of the Los Angeles Kings is congratulated after scoring a goal against the Florida Panthers.
The 2010 NHL Entry Draft is coming to the Staples Center, marking the first time it's ever been held in Los Angeles.
The annual draft is scheduled for June 25 and 26, 2010. Full season ticket holders and Staples Center premier seat and suite holders will get first crack at the tickets, according to the NHL.
"With the draft being here in L.A. next summer, maybe we can find another Luc Robitaille," said Kings GM Dean Lombardi.
Not only is the draft a milestone for LA, it's notable for all of California.
"In fact, for the first time in its 46-year history, the NHL Entry Draft will be held in the State of California," according to the Kings.
