WHL Announces Results of 2008 Bantam Draft Lottery
Created: Mar 19, 2008
RED DEER TO SELECT FIRST OVERALL – The WHL Bantam Draft lottery was held today at the WHL Office in Calgary to determine the order of the first six selections in the first round of the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft.

The WHL Bantam Draft Lottery involved the six non-playoff teams (Edmonton, Portland, Prince Albert, Prince George, Red Deer and Saskatoon) from the 2007-08 season.

The Lottery selection process was performed by a representative from KPMG. The 2008 WHL Bantam Draft will be held in Calgary on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the Round Up Centre.

A Red Deer Rebels’ ball was drawn first in the lottery, giving the Rebels the first overall selection in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft. The Portland Winter Hawks, based on their position in the overall 2007-08 WHL Regular Season standings, will receive the second pick in the first round. The Prince George Cougars will select third.

The Edmonton Oil Kings will have the fourth pick overall while the Prince Albert Raiders and the Saskatoon Blades will draft in the fifth and sixth positions respectively.

The order of the second round and all other rounds will be the inverse order of final 2007-08 regular season standings.

Players eligible for the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft will be 1993-born players who reside in Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
