Noonan 28th Vernon Junior Hockey Player To Get Drafted:

I'd first off like to take the time to personally congratulate former Vernon Vipers defenceman, Garrett Noonan on getting drafted two weekends ago by the NHL Nashville Predators. Noonan was drafted in the 4th round 21st pick (112 overall). Great news when any BCHLer gets drafted into the NHL. Garrett has come a long way from his rookie season with the Vipers two seasons ago. Congrats as well to the other seven former and current BCHLers (Joel Lowry, Josh Manson, Mike Reilly, Laurent Brossoit, Nathan Lieuwen and Dennis Robertson) who also were drafted. Best of luck!
