Already there have been several calls from NCAA division one schools regarding Sadjadi as he is on many NCAA schools radars.

Lakers go local with there first ever draft pick!

The Lakers believe to win championships you have to build your team from the net out and that's exactly what they did when they selected young sixteen year old local goalie Kyle Runge of the Barrie Colts Minor Midget “AAA” club. Runge had a great season last year with the Colts and the Lakers feel that Kyle will be a huge addition to the club for now as well for years to come. Kyle's father Dan is a former pro football player that stands at 6'9 290 pounds. Runge is looking to get an NCAA scholarship in playing for the Lakers. Next pick would land the Lakers a hot shot stud out of California that led the West Coast U16 AAA in scoring with over 120 points. Many scouts of having the same playing style as Anaheim's star forward Ryan Getzlaf have described Max Douglas. Below is a list of the draft picks selected by the Lakers.
