The Dauphin Kings protected Kyan Grouette and Carter Zalischuk earlier this week ahead of the MJHL Bantam Draft.
Today is the day. This year's draft will be held virtually because of COVID-19.
The Swan Valley Stampeders, meanwhile, auto-protected Will Munro and Bo Eisner ahead of the big day.
Doug Hedley, Head Coach, and General Manager of the Dauphin Kings had this to say on the day.
"Draft day is always important and it's something that we look forward to every season," said Hedley. "It's our chance to draft some top end Bantam players as we look to build for future years."
Barry Wolff echoed Doug's thoughts.
"Our scouting group has done a fantastic job in identifying some players that we have on our list," concluded Wolff. "This is an important day for us, it's a day where we build towards the future."
Here is the full list of when team's will be drafting through eight rounds.
