I will be making my third trip to Nationwide Arena later this month. The first was the Ohio Hockey Classic (Miami beat the Falcons), the second was the Wings-Blue Jackets game on April 1st (on NBC).
This time it will be for the NHL Draft, June 22-23. I volunteered to work at the draft and have made the cut. I will be a “Draft guide” - no idea what I will be doing, but it is supposed to be the most important volunteer position. I am sure I will have a blast just being there. (Yes, I am taking a vacation day at work to work for free.)
It will be nice to be there if/when BG-bound Josh Unice gets drafted. He is ranked as the #15 North American goalie.
There is a full schedule of events for the fans. This FSN Ohio video is interesting - how they planned the draft, it’s impact on the city, making it exciting for fans.
Michael Turner has a guide for fans traveling to Columbus to attend the draft. Michael and Drew are organizing a blogger meet-up there - hope I can make that, too. Update: Sarah has a great list of things to do in Columbus draft weekend.
