College draft

The collegiate draft occurred on April 23 and was broadcast on NBCSN at 6:00 PM EDT. It was hosted by sportscaster Paul Burmeister with help from draft analyst Ryan Boyle. A draft lottery was released on the league's YouTube channel on April 8 to determine the top six picks.

Format:

  • Each club was awarded four picks.
  • The draft order was selected at random and reversed each round until the draft was completed. (The first team with the first pick went last in round two, giving the team who went last in round one to go first in round two). A one-minute countdown clock was started for picks.
  • Eligible players must currently be in their senior season.
  • No current picks could be traded for picks in a future draft.
  • No trading of players already on rosters for draft picks.
