Six Saskatchewan Players Selected in NHL Entry Draft
Jul

By Hockey Saskatchewan
2021 marked the 56th NHL Entry Draft. The draft was held July 23rd and 24th remotely, for the second season in a row, due to COVID19 concerns. This year’s draft was delayed one month later than usual due to the later than normal finish to the 2020-21 season. Being Seattle Kraken’s inaugural draft year this season, 32 teams selected a total of 224 players over 7 rounds. We are extremely proud to announce that a total of six (6) Saskatchewan players were chosen, with four (4) of them being Team Saskatchewan alumni.
