#NHLPeachy #SmallScreenScenes @NHL NHL Productions' Sports Emmy Award-Winning "Welcome to the NHL" Returns July 21

One-Hour Program Will Take Viewers Behind-The-Scenes with Seven Top Prospects, including First Overall Pick Connor Bedard, on Draft Day

The award-winning “Welcome to the NHL,” produced by NHL Productions, returns with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the top prospects in the 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft™ in Nashville. The show will premiere on Friday, July 21, at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and at 7 p.m. ET on NHL Network in the U.S. Sportsnet One will carry the program on Saturday, July 22, at 7 p.m. ET for fans in Canada. View the trailer here.

Cameras follow seven top prospects – Connor Bedard (No. 1 overall, Chicago Blackhawks), Adam Fantilli (No. 3 overall, Columbus Blue Jackets), William Smith (No. 4 overall, San Jose Sharks), Oliver Moore (No. 19 overall, Chicago Blackhawks), Oliver Bonk (No. 22 overall, Philadelphia Flyers), Carey Terrance (No. 59, Anaheim Ducks) and Jacob Fowler (No. 69, Montreal Canadiens) – as they experience the anxiety and exhilaration of the NHL Draft with their families, friends and trusted advisors.

“Welcome to the NHL” provides an unprecedented inside look as prospects are welcomed to Nashville by fans on the red carpet, await selection inside Bridgestone Arena, and meet with media, executives and team staff moments after their names are called. The program captures the anticipation, excitement and emotion as each selection is announced – a pivotal moment for Clubs and aspiring players alike. Last year’s “Welcome to the NHL” show, which covered the 2022 NHL Draft in Montreal, earned a 2023 Sports Emmy Award for Edited Event Coverage.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
