The NHL and the United States Embassy in Beijing combined to spread the message of hockey in China on Thursday.

The League and the embassy held a "Hockey Night" designed to introduce the League's popular youth program in China and increase interest in the sport. The standing room-only event at the Beijing American Center was held one week before the Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks begin the 2017 NHL China Games presented by O.R.G Packaging.
