IceDogs to draft fourth
Random chance did not work in favour of the Niagara IceDogs at the Ontario Hockey League draft lottery for the 2022 Priority Draft Selection.
The four teams who failed to qualify for the OHL playoffs, the IceDogs, Saginaw Spirit, Erie Otters and Sudbury Wolves, had an equal chance 25 per cent chance at drawing the first overall pick. The final results were determined by a computerized random number generator, with the process overseen and certified by Mr. Robert Bayne, partner with the law firm Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti LLP.
The IceDogs drew the fourth selection while Saginaw will select first followed by Erie and then Sudbury.
