As many as six AA Bantam Kabos Raiders could be selected in Thursday's WHL Bantam Draft, which is set for Edmonton's Fantasyland hotel in the West Edmonton Mall.

 

The AA Raiders had a strong season under Head Coach Kent Woods.  Woods says it should be an exciting day for his team.  "It's a great opportunity.  They're saying there could be six or seven guys drafted (from the Raiders), which is great for the program and Swift Current ninor hockey," commented Woods.

 

Two players receiving the most attention could be Zack Mackay and Justin Spagrud.  The two could be taken as high as the second round.  "They've gotten a lot of attention throughout the year," said Woods.  "It's all been well deserved.  They have both been MVPs of tournaments, and have received all-star selections.  The attention has been rightfully deserved."

 

Other players being talked about include Spencer Wand, Josh Wik, Chase Nelson, and Dalton Menke.
