The Tri-City Americans select goalie Eric Comrie with the 13th overall pick in the bantam draft. Comrie is from Edmonton and is the younger brother of the Edmonton Oilers Mike Comrie
The Ams traded with Vancouver to move up in the draft. He was the top ranked goalie in the draft and will be eligible to play in the WHL in the 2011-12 season.
Comrie is the second goalie ever taken by the Americans in the first round of the bantam draft. The first was Carey Price.
After sending their second round pick to Lethbridge as part of the deal
for Eric Mestery, Tri-City then used their next pick on left wing Justin
Spagrud in round 3 (63rd overall). The 6'0, 145 lb forward from Gull
Lake, Saskatchewan led the Swift Current Kabos Raiders this season,
totaling 35 goals and 62 points in 26 games. The Raiders finished with
a 20-3-3 record in the South Sask Minor Hockey League, eventually
falling in the League Finals to the Notre Dame Hounds in three games.
