It was quite the year for Kelowna Rockets stars Andrew Cristall and Caden Price.

The two 18-year-olds were both selected in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft back in June.

Cristall, the Burnaby native, was drafted in the second round (40th overall) by the Washington Capitals while Price was selected by the Seattle Kraken in the 3rd round (84th overall).

In his WHL career, Cristall has 221 points (87 goals, 134 assists) in 155 career games. Price, a defenceman, has 84 points (11 goals, 73 assists) in 138 career games played.

Cristall signed his three-year entry-level contract with Washington a week after getting drafted. Price is yet to sign his entry-level contract.
