FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Penticton, BC – May 27, 2021 – Kaizen Sports & Entertainment Ltd. is proud to announce that seven clients have been selected in the 2021 United States Hockey League (USHL) Draft which was held in two phases starting with Phase 1 on May 26th, followed by Phase 2 on May 27th.

The Phase I Draft consisted of ten rounds of “futures” age players only, which are U-17 players for next year’s season (2005 birth year players only for the 2021 Phase I Draft). Phase II of the Draft is open to players of all ages eligible to play junior hockey and are not currently protected by another USHL team. Teams will fill their roster to a total of 45 players on this date; this includes players that were previously on a team’s Affiliate List. The total number of players that a team will draft will vary depending on the number of Affiliate players a team may have.

“We are exceptionally proud of what each respective Student-Athlete accomplished to get to this point,” said Managing Director Michael O’Rafferty. “We will continue to guide and mentor these athletes to ensure their future success in training camp and beyond.”

Due to Kaizen’s confidentiality policy regarding student-athletes, we will not be releasing anything more on the 2021 USHL Draft.
