-The 2009 NHL Entry Draft is a little over 24 hours away..I'll have some thoughts later today and tomorrow mornign, including my own mock draft.

-Where does Landon Ferraro go Friday night....OR...does he slip to round two?

- The CHL Import Draft goes Tuesday, June 30th. The Rebels pick at 14th, and then again at 74th. I don't think it's set in stone who Red Deer wants to select as of yet, as the NHL draft this weekend could play a big role. I'll have more info on that come Monday.

-The 73rd annual Ponoka Stampede gets going tonight. With $40,000 up for grabs in each of the seven events, it's North America's richest rodeo over the Canada Day weekend. Thanks to the Stampede comittee for hosting a great media day at the Wolf Creek Golf Resort yesterday.
