NHL Entry Draft 1997

L'NHL Entry Draft 1997 è stato il 35º draft della National Hockey League. Si è tenuto il 21 giugno 1997 presso la Civic Arena di Pittsburgh.

NHL Entry Draft 1997
Luogo	Pittsburgh; PA, Pittsburgh
Data	21 giugno 1997
Prima scelta	Joe Thornton
Scelto da	Boston Bruins
Selezionati	246
← 1996 1998 →

Questo fu il primo draft a cui presero parte in modo ufficiale i Phoenix Coyotes, dopo l'edizione precedente nella quale si erano presentati ancora con la denominazione di Winnipeg Jets. Questo fu inoltre il primo Draft per un'altra franchigia che scelse di trasferirsi in un'altra città; infatti nella primavera del 1997 gli Hartford Whalers lasciarono il Connecticut per trasferirsi nella Carolina del Nord, assumendo il nuovo nome di Carolina Hurricanes. Rispetto al Draft del 1996 si aggiunsero altre cinque scelte compensatory per le franchigie che nell'ultima stagione avevano perso un giocatore divenuto unrestricted free agent, portando il numero totale di giocatori selezionati da 241 a 246.

I Boston Bruins selezionarono il centro canadese Joe Thornton dai Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, i San Jose Sharks invece come seconda scelta puntarono sul centro canadese Patrick Marleau, proveniente dai Seattle Thunderbirds, mentre i Los Angeles Kings scelsero in terza posizione il centro finlandese Olli Jokinen dell'HIFK Helsinki. Fra i 246 giocatori selezionati 136 erano attaccanti, 91 erano difensori mentre 19 erano portieri. Dei giocatori scelti 101 giocarono in NHL.
