Those who aren't taken in this draft will still be eligible for the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft that goes on May 7th in Red Deer.
The Red Deer Rebels won the lottery so they are making the first selection of the night. They will be followed by the Tri-City Americans, Edmonton oil Kings, Everett Silvertips, Prince Albert Raiders, and the Winnipeg Ice. The Kelowna Rockets have the 15th pick, one behind the Blazers.
