Expansion Draft Held Today
June 2nd 2006
The Western Hockey League will hold an Expansion Draft for the League's newest member club, the Chilliwack Bruins, on Friday, June 2, 2006.
The league will agree on a formula whereby each team protects a certain number of players. In previous Expansion Drafts the number has been 15 - 16 players on the PPL. 15 and 16-year-old players are exempt from this draft. We will select one player from each team with the exception of the Tri-City Americans from whom we will be able to select 3 players. Tri Cities will only have the right to protect 12 players from their protected player list. This is part of the expansion agreement. The Expansion Draft will give us 22 players and along with the Import draft on June 28th and some listed players, will make up the first Chilliwack Bruins Hockey Team.
The results of the Expansion Draft will be announced and posted on the the Chilliwack Bruins web site at approximately 5pm Friday evening.
