Bellerive was taken number 2 in last years WHL Bantam Draft, and I don't know why Brandon Wheat Kings passed on him. Is he a long shot sure, but wasn't Toews and he came.
I think Dixon Ward's son might be a very good pick up by the coaches.
Edit: Of everyone taken in the draft with Bellerive only 4 others, that I can find, haven't signed with their WHL teams.
#7 Pick Michael Rasmussen
#11 Pick Griffin Mendel
#16 Pick Jarret Tyszka
#22 Pick Jonathan Smart
