With the passing of the S62 SHL Draft the Winnipeg Aurora welcomed a new age of players. New general manager Ace tore down his team and continued to add picks right up until the middle of the first round. With seven first round picks Winnipeg has turned their prospect pool into one of if not the best in the league.

Starting at second overall the addition of future franchise defender Mikko Rashford will help create the best future top fours in the league. As a new create Rashford has impressed as a max earner this past season. Then at fourth and fifth overall, Winnipeg added another star defender in Jay O’Neil and high flying winger Spack Jarrow. Then with picks eleven and twelve some grit and toughness were added in a pair of six foot three hard hitting forwards in Jaeger Jones and Tommy Tightpants, both will cause absolute havoc for any line they play against in the future. At pick fourteen Winnipeg grabs maybe one of the biggest steals of the draft inmax earning defender Christian Kinsinger. A smooth skating two-way defender who will only help create competition for the top four, with what could be 3 all star defenders.

Finally at pick sixteen Winnipeg grabbed their goalie of the future in Rebecca Montagne. A calm and poised netminder with all the tools to be one of the top goalies for years to come. The future's looking bright in Winnipeg and its more than just the Aurora.
