WHL COMPLETES 2014 BANTAM DRAFT LOTTERY
Calgary, AB – The WHL Bantam Draft lottery was held today at the WHL Office in Calgary to determine the order of the first six selections in the first round of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft.
The WHL Bantam Draft Lottery involved the six non-playoff teams (Lethbridge, Kamloops, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince George and Red Deer) from the 2013-14 season. A team could only move up a maximum of two positions in the Bantam Draft.
The Lottery selection process was performed by Richa Kapil from KPMG. The 2014 WHL Bantam Draft will be held in Calgary, AB, on Thursday, May 1, 2014.

The Lethbridge Hurricanes will have the second selection, the Kamloops Blazers will select third, the Moose Jaw Warriors have the fourth selection, the Prince George Cougars will select fifth, and the Red Deer Rebels will have the sixth overall selection.
The order of the second round and all other rounds will be the inverse order of final 2013-14 WHL regular-season standings.
