With the Raiders 4th pick,they choose extremely touted Troy Power.Power could very well be one of the best players available.Power played last season with the California Wave,who were National Midget AAA champions in the U.S.

Whether or not Power actually comes to Canada is a guess.He was also chosen in the 2006 USHL Draft,so the kid does have options.

so question: if he's that highly touted why wouldn't they have picked him up in the late rounds of the regular bantam draft.

I mean the Giants actually took a few Wave players in the latter rounds, so I was curious why the other clubs wouldn't have followed suit. Is it just because the US (Cali) draft players don't affect the 50 PPL until you select more than one?

Also this came out of the woodwork for me - did the WHL squads know that there was going to be a Cali draft when they had their bantam draft?

Troy Power ,forward,Camarillo, CA, California Wave MidgetAAA U-16: drafted by Des Moines Buccaneers this year. selected in the 2006 USHL Draft. Troy was instrumental in capturing the recent national championship and was selected by The des moines Buccaneers who just won their own clark cup national jr. a championship.

The Wave had quite the impressive season, here's a site which shows the games they played and the results.... lotsa wins and very few losses.
