Apparently hot summer weather, a Friday night and a dull anti-climatic four hour stretched out affair is the perfect recipe for a major ratings winner. TSN captured the largest ever audience for an NHL draft with an average of 540,000 viewers tuning into see the NY Islanders select John Tavares with the No.1 overall pick.
The Montreal-hosted draft also scored in huge fashion on french langauge sports channel RDS, netting an additional 473,000 viewers.
All told that equates to an average of 1,013,000 Canadians watching. Wow!
