Excited would best describe 15 year-old Andrew Cristall.
The Vancouver resident was watching intently as the Kelowna Rockets selected him eighth overall in the WHL bantam draft.
"It got to the eighth pick and there was Kelowna and I was kind of hoping I was getting picked," Cristall said. "I hear my name called and we all jump up and start hugging each other. It was a pretty exciting moment, it was pretty cool."
The Rockets also announced this morning that long time scout Terry McFaul is now the director of player personnel, taking over from Lorne Frey who assumes a consultants role with the team.
