Plenty of talent up for grabs in WHL Bantam Draft; Kruger
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Eyes of young, eager hockey players will focus squarely on Calgary tomorrow, as all 22 teams make their picks in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.
The Prince Albert Raiders have the full slate of western Canadian players to choose from with the first overall selection. Meanwhile the Medicine Hat Tigers will have to wait a while until approaching the podium with the 21st pick.
Second last in the selection process is a stark contrast to their 5th overall pick last year, but Tigers Director of Player Development Darren Kruger says that doesn’t affect his preparation.
