Windsor Spitfires to Pick 58th in Tomorrow’s CHL Import Draft

(Windsor) With five Spitfire players being selected in the NHL Entry Draft this past weekend as well as the signing of Czech forward Richard Panik, the Windsor Spitfires will turn their focus to tomorrow’s CHL Import Draft. The Halifax Mooseheads have the first pick and will make their selection (9 a.m June 30). Windsor currently holds the 58th overall pick and will be making their selection tomorrow evening.

“We will be able to use our pick this year with Loktionov playing in the professional ranks. With the signing of Panik, we have one European spot accounted for but I would like to add another European player to our lineup,” commented Windsor Spitfires Vice-President and General Manager Warren Rychel.
