The 2010 NHL Entry Draft was the 48th NHL Entry Draft, held on June 25–26, 2010 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, home arena of the Los Angeles Kings. This was the first time Los Angeles hosted the NHL Entry Draft.[1] An unofficial record of eleven American-trained players were selected in the first round, starting with Jack Campbell and ending with Brock Nelson.[2] The record was set in the 2006 and 2007 drafts, where ten U.S.-trained players were selected in the first round.
