The bantam draft lottery was held this morning, and the Prince George Cougars - who had a 57% chance of winning the first pick - had one of their lottery balls drawn. As a result, the draft order will not change and will be a strict worst-to-first order based on the final standings.
I believe this is just the 13th win of the season for the Cougars.

To all;
I think Forsberg has a very good chance of going first overall for a couple reasons. His bro Jesse plays there so the transition seems natural. Secondly, he is "one" of the top talents in the draft this season. However, in saying that,there are several other players who may produce at Alex level in years to come. Those players are Brian Williams from California, Madison Bowey (dman from Winnipeg), Matt Needham from Penticton who had 225 pts in 55 bantam games this season. Matt is the son of former Blazer star Mike Needham from the 80's. Small, shifty player from BC, Nic Petan. Power forward in the making Anthony Ast from BWC. A pair of Dmen from Alberta are studs as well, Josh Morrissey and Jesse Lees from Calgary are bonified top 10 talents. Craig Leverton and Cory Millette are a couple forwards who will garner a high selection. In the case of Leverton, he could be the best power forward in the draft. Power forwards develop a bit slower but he is a good one. BC has two very good defenceman leading the way in Joseph Cavalho and Kyle Burroughs who are first round talents. Southern Alberta looks strong this year with a very good players coming from Saskatchewan in the top half of the first round. BC has several stars and good depth. Manitoba is hmmmm Manitoba.
