CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) — The 2017 NHL draft is coming to the United Center. And there is no coach's challenge to take that one away from Chicago. Bettman was joined by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz, team president John McDonough and other executives and officials for the draft announcement. Emanuel said no public money will be used on the event and it will have a huge economic impact on the city.
The NCAA's Frozen Four also will be held at the United Center next year.
