Ice Pass On CHL Import Draft
Published on June 29, 2010 under Western Hockey League (WHL)
Kootenay Ice News Release
Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club announced today the ICE are passing on their 2010 CHL Import Draft first and second round picks.
"Although we have been fortunate in the past with the CHL Import Draft we feel that in this day and age it is becoming very hard to attract the top European players. Our team is eligible to return 19 players and there is no guarantee if we selected a player today that he would be able to play in our top six forwards or top four defensemen." commented Chynoweth.
Season Tickets are currently on sale for the 2010-2011 season. You can choose your seats by visiting the Kootenay ICE Office.
