Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the S47 SHL Entry Draft!

Before we get underway I'd like to thank the Hamilton Steelhawks for being such wonderful hosts for all of us tonight, as well as congratulate the Buffalo Stampede on the franchise's first ever Challenge Cup victory. I'd also like to take a moment and congratulate both the New Orleans Specters and the Chicago Syndicate on the completion of their first season in the Simulation Hockey League - it's all downhill from here.

With that out of the way, I'm going to hand the festivities over to the Winnipeg Jets who will be making the first overall selection in tonight's draft.

Winnipeg, you're on the clock!
