The 2018 NHL Draft gets underway June 22 in Dallas, Texas, and plenty of New Englanders figure to hear their names called by some of the league's 31 franchises. It's an honor they've earned after impressing in the prep school ranks, in junior hockey, and with the National Team Development Program.

We'll be on site for the NHL Draft, so expanded stories will follow suit.
