Draft Day

[Joe Hallenback]

Big Day today. Couple of 1st round picks. Won't really know how these kids are going to pan out for a couple of years but still it is an exciting day overall. On the plus side too I know several kids from the Selkirk/St.Andrews area that are going to be drafted as well.

I wouldn't mind seeing us grab Thomson and Brooks in the 1st round. 2 Manitoba boys. 1 That is probably a sure bet to play and another that is little riskier but has tremendous upside.

Hope you will post about the young men you have some knowledge of when their names get called.

Well there goes Thomson guess it was too much too hope we could get him. Kid is going to be special

[Brandon]

Wheat Kings moving up? I like this webcast after all

[Joe Hallenback]

Didn't happen I wonder who KM wanted

I am pretty sure Kord played some forward at AB Cup. Interesting I didn't think he would go this high up. Nice size on him.

Interesting pick. Lots of offense. Kid can skate which is always good. Nice size already.

Papirny can play thats for sure. He is a good goalie. In my top 3 in Alberta (3 guys who are all very special). He goes first of the 3 I am not sure he is better than a kid like Derek Mazil or Patrick Gora but he is as good and will be very good at the next level. Another solid pick for Brandon.

Manitoba boy from Russell area. Wonder if he plays for Parkland next year in AAA midget since that program is in such poor shape.
