CHL Import Draft: BOBYLEV 38th overall

Victoria, BC- The Victoria Royals are proud to announce the selection of 18-year-old Russian winger Vladimir Bobylev, 38th overall in the 2015 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft this morning.

The CHL Import Draft is an annual event in which clubs from all three leagues (Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Western Hockey League) select players born outside of North America.

“We are happy to have been able to select Vladimir this morning,” General Manager Cameron Hope said. “His size, strength and skating will make him a good fit with our group. He got his feet wet as a WHL rookie last year and we don’t think he has shown yet what he is capable of in this league.”

A native of Lipetsk, Russia, Bobylev spent the 2014-15 season in the WHL with the Vancouver Giants where he recorded nine points (3g-6a) and 39 penalty minutes in 52 games.

The Giants selected Bobylev in the 2014 CHL Import Draft in the first round, 21st overall.

During the 2013-14 campaign, Bobylev played for Mytischi Atlant of the Russian Junior Hockey League (MHL). In 35 games, he collected four goals and four assists to go along with 36 minutes in penalties.


The 6-2, 206 lb forward has suited up for the Russian National Junior Team on two occasions. Last year, Bobylev took part in the Under-17 Five Nations Cup and registered two points in three games. Bobylev also represented his country at the 2014 Under-17 Four Nations Cup, where he notched one goal in three contests.

WHL CLUBS SELECT 28 PLAYERS IN 2015 CHL IMPORT DRAFT

Calgary, AB -
 Western Hockey League Clubs selected 28 players as the 2015 CHL Import Draft was held on Tuesday, June 30. 

The two-round draft took place online with the order of selection rotating through each of the CHL’s three leagues using an inverse order of final regular season standings from the 2014-15 season.  All CHL Clubs are permitted to carry two European import players on their roster each season who are selected annually through the CHL Import Draft.

The Saskatoon Blades were the first WHL Club to make a selection, choosing Czech Republic defenceman Libor Hajek with the second overall pick. In 44 games with the Czech Republic’s HC Kometa Brno U20 Club, Hajek recorded one goal and nine assists to go along with a plus-eight rating. Hajek is eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft.

The Lethbridge Hurricanes selected Russian defenceman Egor Babenko with the fifth overall pick while the Vancouver Giants got Slovakian forward Radovan Bondra with the eighth overall selection.

All but one WHL Club selected at least one player in the 2015 CHL Import Draft. The Calgary Hitmen did not select a player in the draft.
