The OHL Draft Lottery did not bounce the IceDogs way for a 2nd straight year.
Niagara will pick 4th in the 1st round of the OHL Draft on April 12th, after having the best odds (40%) to select first overall for a third year running.
Voice of the IceDogs on Niagara’s New Country 89.1 Ted Lehman caught up with IceDogs owner Darren DeDobbelaer after the pick was announced.
The Windsor Spitfires, who had the second-best odds (30%), will have the 1st overall selection, while the Sarnia Sting and Peterborough Petes will pick 2nd and 3rd respectively. The OHL says the final results were determined by a computerized random number generator, with the process overseen and certified by Mr. Robert Bayne, partner with the law firm Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti LLP.
The OHL Priority Selection will once again be held over the course of two days, with Rounds 1-3 taking place beginning at 7:00pm on Friday, April 12th. The proceedings continue on Saturday, April 13th starting at 9:00am with Rounds 4-15. The Priority Selection will be produced by YourTV, and streamed for free in its entirety on OHL Live.
