Defense - Jaakko Järvinen - 16th Overall
With the Lethbridge Lions Pick that the Halifax Raiders Received from the Kelowna Knights the Halifax Raiders Selected Jaakko Järvinen. Jaakko Järvinen is a positionally sound stay at home defensive defenseman. While not the most physical of defenders he makes it difficult for any player to have a dangerous scoring chance as he forces players to put themselves at bad angles if they plan on moving past him. He will sure be an annoyance for other teams to play against for the next few seasons.

Right Wing - Freddie Sweeney - 24th Overall
With the 24th Overall selection the Halifax Raiders Selected Right Winger Freddie Sweeney.

Goaltender -Biz Nasty - 28th Overall
With the 28th Overall Pick the Halifax Raiders Selected Biz Nasty who has been having one hell of a playoff run with the Vipers. Biz Nasty had an above average regular season for the Vipers but really turned in his game in the Play offs. Having yet to lose in the playoffs taking down the Sting Rays in the first two games the Vipers were ampted to take on their next opponent in the Wranglers. They did so with force defeating the Wranglers 6-0 with Biz Nasty earning his first playoff shutout. Hopefully more of the same is to come with the second game in the series. We will hopefully see Biz Nasty and fellow Raider and Viper Atlas Rush hoisting the cup very soon!
