With pick number two in the WHL prospects draft, the Prince Albert Raiders chose the top setup man in the Alberta Elite Hockey League in Riley Boychuk. At pick number seven, they found the perfect forward for him to set up.
At seventh overall, the Raiders chose forward Ty Meunier. The sniper piled up goals at an incredible pace this past season with 54 goals in just 32 games. His 54 goals not only led the league, but his 88 points led the league as well. With 54 goals, Meunier was 20 goals ahead of his next closest competitor.
When the playoffs rolled around for Meunier’s St. Albert Sabres squad, he kept on scoring. He posted nine points in eight playoff games. He excelled in tournaments as well with five goals and seven points in five games at the John Reid Bantam Tournament and four goals and seven points in five games with Team Alberta Gold at the Alberta Cup.
As of this writing, the Raiders next pick in the draft will come at 27th overall.
