It's Draft Day

SHERBROOKE, Que. – For the fifth time in 11 seasons, the Saint John Sea Dogs will select first overall in the QMJHL Entry Draft.

This year’s draft takes place this morning at 11 a.m. Atlantic time in Sherbrooke. TVA Sports will be broadcasting the event this year.

The Sea Dogs appear poised to do something they haven’t done in the past with the first overall choice – pick a forward. After taking Alex Grant (2005), Yann Sauve (2006), Simon Despres (2007) and Luke Green (2014), it would be shocking if the team didn’t use the first overall pick on “exceptional” forward Joseph Veleno.

It’ll be a historic day for the league as Veleno becomes the first player in QMJHL history to receive exceptional player status. Via John Moore, here’s Sea Dogs general manager Darrell Young talking about Veleno.


The Sea Dogs will also be picking ninth and 10th overall today, although there has been plenty of speculation that the team wants to move up to get another early first round pick.

Here are all of Saint John’s picks:

Round 1 - 1st overall
Round 1 - 9th overall
Round 1 - 10th overall
Round 3 - 51st overall
Round 4 – 57th overall
Round 6 - 100th overall
Round 9 - 154th overall
Round 9 - 159th overall
Round 10 - 172nd overall
Round 11 - 187th overall
Round 11 - 190th overall
Round 12 - 208th overall
Round 12 - 212th overall
Round 13 - 226th overall
Round 14 - 244th overall
