The 2022 NA3HL was held on Wednesday, April 20. The Power went into the four-round draft with seven overall picks, looking to add to an already established, promising roster built on returners and tender signings.
“Overall, we are very happy with our selections. We made our team better and that is the most important part of the draft. We put tremendous value into the draft. We communicate with high school, AAA and NAHL coaches and we do our homework on players,” said Power Vice President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kevin Marion.
The Power’s first draft choice was in Round 1, the 12th overall pick, and the Power selected Defenseman Nick Troutwine from Rockridge, MN High School. The rest of the Power’s draft looks like this:
