WHL-how they were built

As of October 31, 2017 there are 535 players in the WHL.

494 are from Canada/USA, while 41 are Import players.

As you look at these numbers remember that this is where the players were taken in the draft and not all were selected by the team they are currently on this season. Some were acquired via trade or waivers.

Vancouver has a league best eight 1^st round picks (7 are their own selections) with Lethbridge, Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Victoria tied for second with six.

Vancouver has a combined 13 players selected in the first two rounds, Victoria has 11, Spokane and Edmonton have 10

Everett, Portland and Red Deer each have a combined two players who were selected in the first two rounds.

Portland leads with 10 undrafted players on the roster, Red Deer has nine and Regina has eight.

Overall, there are 114 players in the WHL who were not selected in the Bantam Draft which is 23% of the 494 Canadian/USA players in the league.
