Red Wings host Hockeytown Draft Party tonight inside Little Caesars Arena

DETROIT -With the 2023-24 NHL season rapidly approaching, Little Caesars Arena will be abuzz Wednesday evening as the Detroit Red Wings host the fourth annual Hockeytown Draft Party in the Via concourse and the main seating bowl.

The Hockeytown Draft Party, presented by Bud Light, begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday with several fan-friendly activities, leading up to the live broadcast of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, slated for 7 p.m. The Red Wings are currently slated to pick twice in the first round, at No. 9 and No. 17 overall. The event was moved entirely indoors on Wednesday morning due to continued poor air quality. Ticketed fans are encouraged to enter Little Caesars Arena at the Meijer Entry SW.
