KMHA: Policy # KJR - 19.1
Title: Protections
Policy Statement:
Each team will be allowed to protect 2 Skaters and 1 Goaltender. These players will be cooperatively ranked by both staffs and used as the team’s first picks during that section of the draft.
i.e. Goaltenders will be Rated 1 through 4. Therefore, if the protected Goaltender for Blue is ranked #1 then Red would choose the 2nd and 3rd picks for Goaltenders. Protected skaters will be selected before the coin toss and the actual draft proceedings begin.
