Two standout Vernon Vipers were drafted by Pro teams yesterday at the NHL entry draft.
The Montreal Canadiens acquired a seventh-round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers and used it to select Brett Stapley 190th overall.
Already a long-serving BCHL veteran of three campaigns, Stapley became more of a finisher this season. His quickness in processing the game and his smarts allow him to overcome any questions on his size. Superior skating and play-making ability make him an offensive threat any time he gets the puck.
Listed No. 177 among North American skaters by Central Scouting
Stapley, will join the University of Denver next season.
