When the smoke cleared on Wednesday evening, the Warhawks were very pleased with their 10 selections in the 2018 NA3HL Entry Draft. The draft works just like any draft in all levels from amateurs to Pros. Team’s draft the rights to a player, whereas if the player decide that this is the proper league for his development, then he signs with that team. The Willmar Warhawks would like to congratulate the 2018 draft class:
