Charly Washipabano of Chisasibi got drafted third in the 10th round in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft on June 5 in Quebec City.
Washipabano was recruited to play for the Chicoutimi Sagueneens next season. He was approached by scouts from six QMJHL teams.
Ryan Weistche, of Waskaganish, was approached by five QMJHL teams’ scouts prior to the draft, but end up not getting drafted. After the draft, the Val d’Or Foreurs expressed an interest in inviting Weistche to come to Val d’Or for their camp in August.
Charly told scouts he hasn’t decided yet where he will play this season. He wants to look at other options like the American University Hockey League. He will attend the QMJHL training camp in August and will then decide where to go next season.
