Alltime Hockey Association Preview
Western Conference
Calgary Stampede
Wayne Gretzky. That's where it all begins for the Calgary Stampede, who drew the #1 pick in the inaugural AHA draft, then went and did exactly what everyone expected they would. When they got to pick again at 24, they went with goalie Sean Burke. Perception is Anze Kopitar was a steal in round 7, but the Stampede open with two 5-star players and nobody else higher than 2.5. Which means their first season likely will go as well as Gretzky and Kopitar can carry them.
