Hockey Alberta would like to congratulate its 17 alumni that were selected in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft this past June 29 in New Jersey.
“Watching these players develop from a young age until their draft day, we couldn’t be prouder,” said Hockey Alberta’s Senior Manager of Development, Tim Leer. “They’ve worked their whole lives to get to this point and it’s a great sense of accomplishment, not only for them but for the parents, the Minor Hockey Associations, coaches and teammates that help along the way as well; it’s such a positive for hockey in Alberta.”
Of the Hockey Alberta based players drafted, 13 participated in Team Alberta programs between 2010 and 2012. 17 players were also selected in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
