The WHL will hold its annual WHL Bantam Draft lottery Wednesday 17th March at 10:00am at its offices in Calgary.

The non-playoff teams involved are: Prince Albert, Regina, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Prince George and Seattle. It will be a weighted lottery via the final standings in the 2009-10 season as follows:
Prince George will have six balls used.
Edmonton will have five balls used.
Lethbridge will have four balls used.
Seattle will have three balls used.
Regina will have two balls used.
Prince Albert will have one ball used.

A club can move up a maximum of two positions if it wins the lottery, so Prince George, Edmonton and Lethbridge will have the opportunity to have the first pick overall. The highest the Regina Pats can finish is with the 3rd pick overall.

The Western Hockey League Bantam Draft will be on Thursday, April 29th in Edmonton.
