The Philadelphia Flyers announced on May 28 that the club will host an NHL Draft Party in partnership with the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City on June 26 from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The event follows the team’s recent return to the Stanley Cup playoffs and aims to bring fans together as the Flyers look ahead to the upcoming season, starting with their selection of the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
The evening will begin with a watch party for key first round picks and will include a live musical performance, with the artist yet to be announced. Attendees can expect appearances by notable Flyers figures, Gritty, and members of the Flyers Ice Team. Fans will also have opportunities to participate in raffles for autographed memorabilia from both Flyers players and musicians.
“We are thrilled to return to Hard Rock Atlantic City for this year’s draft party,” said Todd Glickman, Chief Revenue and Business Officer of the Philadelphia Flyers. “The excitement coming off this past season is only the beginning, and we cannot wait for the Flyers faithful to join us down the shore for some offseason fun as we continue building for future success.”
George Goldhoff, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, said, “Hard Rock Atlantic City is proud to once again host the 2026 Draft Party with the Philadelphia Flyers. This past season was incredibly exciting, and we are so proud of the Flyers for the passion, determination, and success they brought to the ice. We are thrilled to welcome fans from all over the region to join us in celebrating this outstanding team and their draft picks. Let’s Go Flyers!”
