The Sports Emmy Award-winning Welcome to the NHL, produced by NHL Productions, returns with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the top prospects in the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft at Sphere in Las Vegas.
Cameras follow 10 top prospects – Macklin Celebrini (No. 1 overall, San Jose Sharks), Cayden Lindstrom (No. 4 overall, Columbus Blue Jackets), Tij Iginla (No. 6 overall, Utah Hockey Club), Zayne Parekh (No. 9 overall, Calgary Flames), Zeev Buium (No. 12 overall, Minnesota Wild), Cole Eiserman (No. 20 overall, New York Islanders), Michael Hage (No. 21 overall, Montreal Canadiens), Max Plante (No. 47, Detroit Red Wings), Carter George (No. 57, LA Kings), and Kevin He (No. 109, Winnipeg Jets) – as they experience the anxiety and exhilaration of the NHL Draft with their families, friends and trusted advisors.
The show provides an unprecedented inside look as prospects make history as part of the first event broadcast live from Sphere, and the first event where footage from inside was broadcast live on the Exosphere, the exterior of Sphere and the world’s largest LED screen. Welcome to the NHL captures the excitement and emotion of draft day, as well as the unique experience in Las Vegas: prospects enter the venue’s Atrium where they are welcomed by Aura, Sphere’s humanoid robot; see themselves for the first time on Sphere’s immersive media plane – the world’s highest resolution LED screen that wraps up, over and around the audience; and meet celebrity fans including NFL legend Marshawn Lynch, iconic ring announcer Michael Buffer and GRAMMY Award-winning singer Celine Dion. The 2022 edition of Welcome to the NHL covering the NHL Draft in Montreal earned a 2023 Sports Emmy Award for Edited Event Coverage.

Keep going guys
Celebrini's a tool. Overrated. Hes gonna choke. Inflate an ego that much and stack on all that pressure. Poor kid
This production will be delayed as it’s in Vegas. It’s been placed on LTIR.
GO FLYERS 🏒🧡
Ce fil témoigne du pouvoir du dialogue pour inspirer, éduquer et unir.😛

Welcome home Michael
Blackhawks #2 pick barely mentioned kinda weird
Hage taking the picture with his mom and Demidov was a nice moment
BeastMode is a beautician
Really hope that Michael Hage thrives in Montreal 😊👌
Run it back at the sphere and keep these videos coming.
praying for all those without yt premium who had to sit through all 100 ads on this video
Oh my. The Hage family🥺 It must have been a happy but bittersweet moment..
Leafs in 8
Parekh had the same reaction as most of the hockey world re: luchanko
what a special night is Vegas.. they gotta keep doing live drafts!!!
What an electric atmosphere! Vegas should host the draft every year. Go Preds!
It is wild that buium went that late
But it’s the Mn Wild so🎉
Keep the draft as it is. Don't kill the only event you do right.
I'll admit. Tears are shed everytime I see clips of Micheal Hage being drafted to MTL, and Cayden Lindstrom hugging his mom for as long as he could. It's these bittersweet stories that gets me everytime ❤
Is this the NHL DRAFT or are they actually trying to sell LAS VEGAS ???
I can't wait until the NHL youtube account discovers that you can upload content in 4k
An amazing documentary. Thank you
Where is Demidov?
