Schenn/Myers/Beach - Congrats!


Luke Schenn is now a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Kelowna Rockets defenseman was picked 5th overall, becoming the highest selected Rockets player ever at the NHL draft. Kyle McLaren held the honor after being selected 9th overall by Boston in 1995. Schenn also becomes the first Rockets player ever to be drafted by the Leafs.

Kyle Beach is the newest member of the Chicago Black Hawks. Beach was the first WHL forward selected in the opening round of the draft, and will eventually become well acquainted with former Kelowna Rockets defenseman Duncan Keith.
Tyler Myers was selected just one pick after Kyle Beach was taken by the Hawks. Myers is now a member of the Buffalo Sabres. Myers joins former Rockets defenseman Mike Card in the Sabres stable. Card was taken in the 8th round in 2004.
