Raiders to pick 21st overall in U.S. Priority Draft

Jun 3, 2021 | 11:00 AM

The Prince Albert Raiders will select near the end of the first round in the 2021 U.S. Priority Draft, as a result of the draft lottery on Thursday.

The Raiders’ lottery ball was selected second, meaning they will have the 21st overall pick in the draft. Since the U.S. Priority Draft has a snake-draft format, the Raiders will also have the 24th overall pick.

Last year, the Raiders drafted Jamison Sluys fifth overall, and Declan Stewart 40th overall.

Players eligible for the U.S. Priority Draft will be 2006-born players who reside in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

The Seattle Thunderbirds won the draft lottery and will select first overall. The 2021 U.S. Priority Draft is scheduled for Dec. 8.
