"The NAHL entry draft is always a big part of the construction of our roster for the season" stated Doremus. "Our hockey operations staff especially Matt Dibble and our scouts spend countless hours preparing for this day. We put a lot of time and effort into the identification, scouting and recruiting process and the draft is kind of the culmination of much of it. With so many players from last year's club moving onto the NCAA level, we have several roster spots we are looking for fill. It's the next big part of the off-season plan and then we shift our focus to our main camp. We are excited to welcome the next group of players to Middletown" concluded Doremus.
