From the Dub: Let’s Do This
The Western Hockey League had a good year in 2019, with 28 players drafted in June and 105 dispatched to NHL training camps this month. Lesser known talent like John Ludvig, Reece Newkirk and Dustin Wolf made the second day of the draft worth watching. Seven players were taken in the first round, notably Bowen Byram and Dylan Cozens. The only damper was the Prince Albert Raiders' quick exit from the Memorial Cup after a perfect season. After two weekend road trips to preseason tournaments, I can safely predict that the WHL has produced another good vintage for the 2019-2020 season. The regular season opens Friday night with seven games and continues through Sunday. Here in the Dub, it's time to get things started.
