The NHL Draft 2025 transformed into “Hockeywood” as Adam Sandler and Jerry Bruckheimer brought movie star charisma to the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Making their debut as first-round draft announcers, the duo added star power, humor, and a few unforgettable moments to an already electrifying night for the league.

But it wasn’t NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Bruins team president Cam Neely, or general manager Don Sweeney making the live-changing announcement. New Hampshire native and Bruins fan Adam Sandler appeared on the video board in Los Angeles, wearing a black No. 16 Bruins sweater.
