On Monday, the Hawkesbury Hawks' brain trust was busy selecting the next generation of players at the 2016 CCHL Bantam and Midget Drafts.

General Manager Rick Dorval started with his Bantam Protect selections, where he chose Kieran Craig from the Eastern Ontario Bantam AAA and his teammate Xavier Léveillé. Craig amassed 40 pts this season, which included 27 goals, while Léveillé totalled 27 pts. Both players will be gunning to make an impact offensively with the Hawks' Midget AAA team next season.

Later in the evening, the Midget draft was on, and the Hawks' scouting staff, led by Head Scout Mitch Geerts, stacked the deck with talent.

Here is a list of the players selected:

Braden Legue - Eastern Ontario Wild Bantam AAA
Connor Head-Smith - Cumberland Jr. Grads Mn Bntm AA
Carter Cummins - Upper Canada Cyclones Bantam AAA
Zachary Payer - Eastern Ontario Wild Bantam AAA
Philippe Plante - Eastern Ontario Wild Mn Bntm AAA
Jordan Croll-Stevenson - Ottawa Jr. 67s Bantam AAA
Quinn McClelland - Eastern Ontario Wild Mn Bntm AAA
