The Major Junior and NHL drafts are key moments in every hockey hopeful's life. Last month, Aboriginal players were taking big steps in Toronto for the Ontario Hockey League annual player harvest and in Pittsburgh for the NHL selection show.
It's the same every spring; talented young hockey players sit in stuffy buildings, wearing suits and ties, surrounded by family, friends, fans and supporters. They go to determine their hockey fate; to see if the scouts and coaches and general managers think they're good enough; to see if their big league dreams will come true.

Up until this season, the Toronto Blue Jay's AAA International League affiliate club, which was founded in 1934, had been called the Chiefs. The club's logo was a simple one: an Indian head.

It's not too often that a teenager is the toast of the town but Jonathan Cheechoo is not your average teenager.
Cheechoo, a native of Moose Factory, Ont. (pop. 1,800), is being projected as a future National Hockey League player.
His career took a step in the right direction on June 7 when he was chosen in the first round, fifth over-all, by the Belleville Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League priority selection draft held at Maple Leaf Gardens.
