The club's remaining players as well as the 50 players on its negotiation list will be drafted by other SJHL teams in a conference call, which was scheduled for May 1.

Craig Womack, a Creek-Cherokee Indian from Muscogee, Okla., is hopeful that the time is not far off when First Nations councils will invest in their people and their culture by printing the written works of their local writers.
