It was a record setting day for the Canadian Sport School Hockey League at the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft as 85 student athletes from the 2018-19 season were selected.
The 85 selections breaks the previous record of 81, which was set at the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft.
In total, 13 CSSHL student athletes were selected in the first round, highlighted by Matthew Savoie, who went first overall to the Winnipeg ICE. It marks the third straight year, and fourth time in the past five seasons a CSSHL student athlete has been selected first overall, following Dylan Guenther, Kaiden Guhle and Ty Smith.
The Delta Hockey Academy led the way with 12 selections, while Edge School and the Yale Hockey Academy each had 11.
All 22 WHL clubs selected at least one CSSHL student athlete with the Vancouver Giants leading the way with seven CSSHL selections, followed by the Calgary Hitmen, Prince George Cougars, Saskatoon Blades and Tri-City Americans, who each had six.
