On the first episode of The Hockey Writers Western Centric Podcast, Colton Davies and Matthew Zator discuss the WHL’s U.S. Priority Draft, Macklin Celebrini going first overall to Seattle, and the impact he can have on the team. Then they transition into a recap of the WHL’s bantam draft, which saw Berkly Catton go #1 overall to Spokane. The guys list off some prospects to watch, the signings, and talk about family-relations within the WHL.
Then they discuss the 15 WHL players invited to Hockey Canada’s selection camp for the 2022 World Juniors and touch up on a number of other dub players who were invited to World Juniors selection camps.
Finally, they wrap things up with weekend score recaps and some chat about Regina Pats forwards Connor Bedard and Tanner Howe.
