2014 Midget Lacrosse Draft

The Delta Islanders are looking at  making major moves in the Junior A circle this summer when they take to the floor in hopes of grabbing a league title and then moving on to the Minto Cup.

In saying that they (the Delta Islanders) plan to make a significant move in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League Midget Draft in Port Coquitlam.

Last month, the Islanders grabbed the number one overall pick from the Burnaby Lakers in a multi-player deal that will help them in all areas.

The projected top pick is Connor Frost who already has signed a National Letter of Intent with the University of North Carolina on a full-ride field lacrosse scholarship and is looking at having an exceptional season.

As a Port Moody player and living there he has indicated he would like to play at the junior level close to home in the Tri-Cities area – if possible.

Islanders Assistant General Manager and Head Coach Greg Rennie has been in discussions with both the Coquitlam Adanacs and Port Coquitlam Saints in regards to trading the pick.

If a deal is finalized, it won’t be announced until the day of the draft.

Last week, Rennie also sent the seventh overall pick to the Nanaimo Timbermen, along with the playing rights to Del Donnelly, for three picks, including a first rounder in 2015.

Rennie has made it clear he is interested in number 1998-born top prospects and would like to obtain multiple 2015 draft picks.

The Islanders currently have acquired two first round selections, along with their own.

Sunday’s midget draft is for 1997-born players who played minor lacrosse for associations not affiliated with junior “A” clubs.
