 The Los Angeles Jr. Kings would like to congratulate Jr. Kings Midget Major player Shane McColgan on being selected by the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. The Rockets selected Shane with their first round draft pick, 13th overall in the 2008 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. Shane was the only US born player to be selected in the first round.
Rockets President/General Manager Bruce Hamilton had this to say about Shane, “We are really excited to draft Shane, as he is one of the top US born players. We look forward to Shane playing with the Kelowna Rockets in the near future as our scouting staff had him rated as one of the top three players in the draft.
