Making the first overall selection in the Under-18 draft will be the Oshawa Generals.

The NCAA rule changes from a year ago, could make this year's Under-18 Draft more interesting than in the past. The changes created a larger pool of players available to teams in the Priority Selection (Under-16) and as such a number of players did not hear their names called and may be available in the coming years of this draft.

"Our team's U18 draft will focus on adding depth at every position and reinforcing the core of our roster" said Attack Head Scout Sean Murphy. "We're targeting players who bring greater speed, skill and competitiveness to elevate our team's overall identity and long-term potential."
