Bantam draft names

Bantam draft time is almost here.....with that in mind, I pulled together a short list of some of the names that - as far as I can tell anyway - we are most likely to hear called in the first round or two of the draft next Thursday.

Have a look....and maybe in the comments section we can get some discussion going of who you'd like to see your favourite team pick.....

Brian Williams	5'8"	145	L.A. Selects AAA bantam	6	7	6	13	22

Notes on the forwards:
 - Forsberg is the younger brother of Prince George Cougars defenceman Jesse Forsberg.
 - Needham is the son of former WHLer and NHLer Mike Needham
 - stats for Ast and Williams are obviously not complete season stats....best I have though.

Defencemen:

Name	Ht	Wt	Club Team	GP	G	A	PTS	PIM
Madison Bowey	5'11"	165	Winnipeg Monarchs AAA bantam	29	15	42	57	74
Taylor Green	6'6"	202	Port Coquitlam Pirates AAA bantam	42	12	38	50	54
Jared Hauf	6'4"	170	Calgary Bronks AAA bantam	33	4	13	17	72

Josh Morrissey	5'11"	170	Calgary Royals Gold AAA bantam	32	21	28	49	108
Joel Topping	6'0"	170	Red Deer Rebels Black AAA bantam	33	15	32	47	90

Defencemen notes:
 - Topping is the younger brother of Chilliwack Bruins defenceman Mitch Topping

And a few goaltenders now:

Name	Ht	Wt	Club Team
Eric Comrie	6'0"	170	L.A. Selects AAA bantam
Tyler Fuhr	5'11"	150	Sherwood Park Flyers AAA bantam
Tristan Jarry	n/a	n/a	North Delta Sun Devils AAA bantam

Goalie notes:
 - sorry, no stats for any of them
 - all or none of these guys could go in the first round, or they might not go until the 2nd, 3rd, 4th rounds. It's always harder to predict where goalies will get picked
 - Comrie is the brother of former WHLer and current NHLer Mike Comrie. The family lives in Los Angeles now which is why he plays for a California team.
 - Fuhr, despite the name, position, and place of residence, is not related to former WHL and NHL goalie Grant Fuhr
