First, it’s a reason to get together with friends and family, now that the season and playoffs are over.
What’s more, all fans will know a little more about their favorite club. Many rumours are circulating about the draft, and we’ll finally have some answers.
For Canadiens fans, we’ll finally know what the club will do with first-round picks #16 and #17.
But what we do know for Friday is who will announce the Anaheim Ducks’ first pick, and many will be thrilled.
They are Charlie and Connie from the Mighty Ducks movies. These films have left their mark on many hockey fans in the past, and we’ll have the chance to see two of the main actors.
The quack attack is back, Jack!
Announcing our first round pick at the 2025 #NHLDraft will be Mighty Ducks stars Joshua Jackson (Charlie) and Marguerite Moreau (Connie)!

This news will get a lot of attention and could clearly help the ratings for this decentralized draft… at least, for the first 10 picks in the first round.
Still, I’m pretty excited about this news, it’s going to be good to see again two faces that have marked so many hockey fanatics.
The first film came out in 1992, the second in 1994 and the third in 1996, but even if I wasn’t around when they came out, these films still left their mark on me.
After Céline Dion announced Ivan Demidov for the Habs (as a surprise), now the Ducks are going with Charlie (Joshua Jackson) and Connie (Marguerite Moreau) for their 10th overall pick. It’s rare that you know something like that in advance.
I’m looking forward to this draft even more, even though I’m already very excited.
Overtime

– Flagg may settle for lucky to join a team like the Mavericks by being selected at the very top (if he’s the one the Mavs choose, although there’s very little chance of that not happening).

– Another major trade in the NBA. The Brooklyn Nets would have five first-round picks for tomorrow’s NBA draft.
The Nets now own picks 8, 19, 22, 26 and 27 in the first round of tomorrow’s NBA draft. Wow. https://t.co/w1Vq92j6Et
