On behalf of the Hockey Super League, we would like to congratulate all 78 Alberta born athletes and their families who were drafted in the 2020 WHL draft. Four HSL athletes from Saints Pro Hockey Academy Prep and three HSL Alumni from the 2018-19 Red Wings Hockey Club were selected in the draft.
To be selected in the Bantam draft is dream come true for those athletes selected by their respective Western Hockey League clubs. It is a testament to their character, work ethic and their dedication to countless hours of development that these young athletes have poured into the game of hockey. There are also many athletes that share those same qualities that did not get drafted. For those athletes not selected, use not being selected as a motivating factor to push you outside your comfort zone and to never stop believing in yourself. The following players from the 2019-2020 HSL season were selected:
Pick | Player | Team | Position | Hometown |
139th | Coster Dunn | Seattle Thunderbirds | Forward | Stony Plain, Alberta |
183rd | Cade Meiklejohn | Seattle Thunderbirds | Forward | Leduc, Alberta |
205th | Ethan Kronewitt | Seattle Thunderbirds | Forward | Stony Plain, Alberta |
227th | Daymiene Peel | Seattle Thunderbirds | Forward | Stony Plain, Alberta |
