The first-ever BCHL affliliate draft is in the books, and the Smokies didn't stray far from home with their two selections.
Trail took Fruitvale's Mitch Foyle with the 8th overall pick. The forward led Rossland-Trail's bantam rep squad in scoring last season and now skates for the major midget Kootenay Ice.
Trail's second-round pick, 24th overall, was Cranbrook's Jeff Rayman. He is a defenceman with the midget Cranbrook Ice.
Both Foyle and Rayman can be called up for up to five games this season.
