CSE Games enjoyed a great weekend at the 2008 NHL Draft in Ottawa which took place on June 20th and 21st. Along with all the action of the Draft itself, the NHL held a trading card and memorabilia show on the concourse of Scotiabank Place. The weather outside was beautiful but that didn’t keep the people away, over 25,000 hockey fans packed the joint over the two-day event.
“We had a great time at the NHL Draft. It’s always fun interacting with so many hockey fans of all ages,” says Ottawa-native Paolo Del Rio of CSE Games. “The NHL put on a first-class show and we were proud to participate. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Draft.”
The Montreal Canadiens will be hosting the 2009 event.
