Montreal Canadiens issue a press release in preparation for the draft

The 2022 NHL Draft will be held on July 7th and 8th at the Bell Centre in Montreal and the Canadiens' organization has decided to organize a party that evening.

Here is the team's press release:

MONTREAL - There's nothing like watching the announcement of the first pick in the 2022 NHL Draft in a frenzy with other Canadiens fans.

Molson Export is hosting a LIVE viewing party on a giant screen for the first round of the NHL Draft on July 7.

You are invited to the Place des Canadiens, outside the Bell Centre, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

While you wait for Kent Hughes to step up to the microphone and announce the first AND 26th picks, don't miss the official draft red carpet.

See the top 2022 prospects parade before your eyes before the moment you've been waiting for.

Also, meet former Canadiens Steve Bégin and Gilbert Delorme, who will be doing an autograph session from 5 to 8 p.m.

Our favorite mascot, Youppi!, will of course be doing his trick and a DJ will add his touch to an already festive atmosphere.

If all this excitement whets your appetite, there will be food and beverages on site.

All the details can be found ici.
