Jack Handey Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 NCDC entry draft was published last night. Per the web site, each team was made to keep drafting until they have 70 players protected. Yep, that reads SEVEN ZERO (!) In an attempt to get younger, the league restricted selections to 2005 and 2006s instead of the traditional junior range (2002 to 2006). Peters/SHAHA kid taken in round 28. Congrats. https://www.usphl.com/news_article/show/1225151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danner27 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Lol, it’s to dangle the ncdc carrot while the kids pay to play in the usphl forever. Such a joke. Edit - they should have called this the advisor draft. Edited May 12, 2022 by Danner27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Lemiuex Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Approximately 330 kids drafted. Seven from WPA. Two go to Gilmour and one plays for the Washington Little Capitals. In essence, four local players with how many AAA programs and Shady Side Academy. I think it is time for organizations to remove "development" from their websites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Gilmour kids are from western pa. the ncdc is a mediocre junior league, to top it off 95% of those kids drafted will never play there. Usphl premier for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 Gilmour kids were pointed out in the original post of the 7 drafted if you remove them as he did plus the Caps kid then he said 4 local were drafted but if you look at the 4 remaining only 1 is from Pittsburgh (SHAHA) while the 3 PPE kids are from out of state.

I thought I saw a couple Esmark 05 go in the draft also. I think it was 39 rounds cause they have 3 new teams and the last 15 rounds are those team filling out the 70 man. It's still Tier 2 junior hockey and tuition free if you kid makes the team and is kept on the team and not sent down to to lower teams, I would make sure you read that contract carefully before signing.

Its still technically Tier 3 junior hockey. They tried to go to Tier 2 and USA Hockey said no because of the NAHL, so they basically gave themselves the extra A to call themselves Tier 2 and be unsanctioned hockey.

Isn't that the knock that many of you have with the Vengeance and other Tier 3 Junior teams? That they are a waste of money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't include the non WPA PPE kids. It's 4 with one being from Johnstown. Development rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
