CHL Import Draft

The last CHL Import Draft that goaltenders can be drafted goes today. It was announced last month that Hockey Canada with the Canadian Hockey League banned European goaltenders from the leagues. They also said that this year's import draft would be the last time these Euro puck stoppers could be drafted.

The Import Draft begins at 12 noon Atlantic time with the Halifax Mooseheads picking three times over the two rounds. This draft includes the 60 CHL teams. Halifax will pick 6th and 12th overall in the first round and 114th overall in the 2nd round. The second round pick is the only one that is originally ours, as Shawinigan gave us the 6th pick and Sherbrooke had the 12th.

The Vancouver Giants will pick 1st overall followed by the Ottawa 67's and Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, respectively. The Saint John Sea Dogs are the only other Maritime division team picking in the top 10.

Good luck to all players and teams!
