While we have reached the mid-point of the 2014-15 hockey season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, the one thing that has been figured out is that this season is as competitive as ever.
The point spread amongst the teams of the Viterra, Kramer and Sherwood divisions are few between each other. When you look at the overall standings Melfort and Kindersley appear to be the teams to beat for now.
With the second half of the season upon us the standings should only become more interesting.
Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Draft 2015.
The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League will utilize a draft process commencing with the league’s AGM the first week of June 2015.
1. The draft will consist of 6 rounds
2. Teams drafting will draft in reverse order from the final point standings of the previous regular season for each and every round.
3. Teams are required to have an open spot within their 50 man player list in order to draft a player.
4. Players eligible for the draft are players with a Saskatchewan resident and having completed their eligibility from the previous season for Bantam hockey.
5. The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League currently utilizes a system in which players that live within the legal boundaries of a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s team community are protected by that Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team until the player reaches his 17th birthday. Players will continue to be protected by their local Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team.
6. Players not drafted will be eligible to be listed by Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League teams upon their 15th birthday.
7. Some of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League teams hold spring camps, teams are allowed to invite draft eligible players to their spring camps. Players may attend Spring Camps of a number of teams should the player choose to.
8. Draft picks maybe traded at any time of the year within the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
One of the main reasons for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League to embark on using the draft system is to ensure that its member teams have equal opportunity to recruit players into their franchises.
The players and parents involved and the teams involved would then have the opportunity to learn about the opportunities within the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and the individual team that drafted the player.
