On May 5th the WHL held it's annual bantam draft and Nathan was selected by the Regina Pats. Nathan was the fourth US born player selected and the first US goalie selected. Nathan had mixed emotions on this selection, as he was told he was going a lot higher, but thrilled on which team selected him. Interesting process indeed. The teams that called and spent hours on the phone with us did not select him and the team we talked to for 30 seconds did. lol. I heard from several teams that there was concern he was going to jump and play NTDP after next season in Ann Arbor. Regina is a great hockey city in the WHL.

WHL Showcase in Anaheim

We brought Nathan back to California for the WHL's US Prospects Showcase in Anaheim over Easter weekend. The first time all four of us have been together since Christmas!!!! Great times for the Churchills and Nathan came away with the Outstanding goalie award. 1 gaa against in 70 minutes was not a bad weekend of work!!! We even snuck in the kitchen table at Buca di Beppo to celebrate grandma Bibo's
