This is a very interesting game to watch as 17 players born in the 96 age group from across Western Canada will take part.  All players were ranked by Western Elite Hockey Prospects prior to the WHL Bantam Draft.  So many of you 1997 born top ranked players can look forward to possibly attending this program next year.

Very good game. I was very impressed which the speed/skill level of these 1996s. Plus, it was very enjoyable to watch bantam kids play hockey and not trying to run the opponent through the boards.

Now I see why Point was considered a steal at 14 th Moose jaw will be happy with that

Odd that 7 of the 8 players from Alberta were from the South and the North won the league??

Moose jaw Loves Point and no wonder why he will be the Highest scoring player in the draft at 17
he was a steal he would have went top 3 if he were 5ft 9 seen him this week end and now 5ft 7 drafted at 5ft 5 he will be big enough Ried Duke also looked great
Mappin the 7th pick not so much or Groop at 6 or Gardnier 8

Goaltender Papirney was the difference in SSAC winning...SSAC got great goal tending in the provincial final while Bisons got mediocre at best....showed in the draft as well....

If the draft were held today Point would be back where he should have been taking top 3. Teams are afraid of size and under estimate character. I saw Point this weekend score 5 goals in a Midget aaa tryout Game the kid is sick and will be the highest scoring player in the 96 draft class period. Hope teams learn some great smaller 97 players coming up.
