Islanders picking 11th overall in Wednesday's CHL Import Draft

The 23rd annual Canadian Hockey League Import Draft will be taking place Wednesday July 2, 2014 at 12 p.m. EST, and the Charlottetown Islanders have the 11th overall pick.

The two-round draft will take place online with the order of selection rotating through each of the CHL’s three leagues using an inverse order of final regular season standings within each league from the 2013-14 season.  The OHL’s Sarnia Sting hold the number one pick, followed by the Quebec Remparts who acquired the second overall selection following a 2012 trade with the Sherbrooke Phoenix.  The WHL’s Lethbridge Hurricanes will select third overall.  Each team in the CHL is permitted to dress and play a maximum of two import players each season who are selected annually through the CHL Import Draft.

Charlottetown will pick again 72nd overall in the second and final round of the Import Draft.

Last year, the Islanders selected forward Marco Sedlar with their 33rd overall pick but was released after 11 games and scoring two goals.
