MiHockey’s 2017 USHL Draft Watch (Day 2)
The selection process for the United States’ top junior hockey league continues Tuesday for the USHL Phase 2 Draft.
After Monday’s Phase I Draft – where USHL clubs took turns claiming the top 2001 birth-year players available – the process shifts to Phase II, where teams select players not already claimed who are eligible for junior hockey (1997 through 2001 birth years) until each team has a full 45-man roster.
Follow along with MiHockey as we track all of the Michigan names selected, as well as picks made by the Muskegon Lumberjacks (in italics).
