Bradly, who’s pegged to play at the University of Maine next season, was one of two Vees from last season to be taken in the draft.
The other was Aydar Suniev, who heard his name called on June 29, by the Calgary Flames in the third round (80th overall).
Current Vees Larry Keenan and Ryan Macpherson were drafted on the same day by the Detroit Red Wings and Philidelphia Flyers, respectively. Following their time at NHL development camps this summer, the Ontario-born pair will make their debuts with Penticton’s BCHL squad in September.
