WHL Bantam Draft
HRI congratulates the Regina player selected in the annual WHL Bantam Draft held May 1.
In total, there were 226 players drafted, with 25 players from Saskatchewan selected.
Congratulations to the lone HRI player drafted:
+ Thomas Goldade - Forward, 231rd overall to Kootney Ice
For those that did not have their names called, there are many great players that were never drafted such as 2-time Stanley Cup winner Chris Kunitz (Anaheim Ducks and Pittsburgh Penguins), Tyler Bozak (Toronto Maple Leafs), Graham Black (New Jersey Devils) and JC Lipon (Winnipeg Jets), all from Regina. Keep in mind that about 50% of the players in the WHL were not drafted into the league but listed later.
