Stan ButlerThe North Bay Battalion will be looking to bring in two new players to the team today at the CHL Import Draft.

Both Alex Henriksson and Hampus Olsson are not returning to the team next season.

Battalion Head Coach and Director of Operations Stan Butler says he is looking for a couple of forwards and looked at some prospects in Florida at the NHL draft this past weekend.

He says “by going down there I’m able to talk to a couple of the guys in person instead of over the phone.”

Butler says he is hoping to bring in an “older guy who can be a top-six forward” as well as a “younger forward who can grow with the team.”

Over the past two years the Battalion have taken two players from Sweden in Henriksson and Olsson, and Vincent Praplan from Switzerland, in the CHL import draft.

Today, the OHL club has the 48th and 108th overall picks.

The draft begins at 11am.
