BC Place was the venue for the 1990 NHL entry draft

The 1990 NHL entry draft was the 28th draft for the National Hockey League. It was hosted by the Vancouver Canucks at BC Place in Vancouver on June 16, 1990. It is remembered as one of the deeper drafts in NHL history, with fourteen of the twenty-one first round picks going on to careers of at least 500 NHL games.

Nine of the twenty-one players drafted in the first round played 1,000 NHL games in their career.

The last active player in the NHL from this draft class was Jaromir Jagr, who played his last NHL game in the 2017–18 season. As of 2026, Jagr is still an active player with Rytíři Kladno of the Czech Extraliga.
