Brahmas Draft Six Players in 2023 Draft!

Apr 19, 2023

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS–

The Texas Brahmas are proud to announce the draft of six players in today’s NA3HL Draft 2023, which was live-streamed on HockeyTV as well as NA3HLdraft.com in it’s entirety. The draft was managed by Texas Brahmas General Management which includes Brahmas Hockey President and Owner Frank Trazzera, Brahmas Hockey Director Knute Anderson, and Texas Brahmas Youth Hockey Association President Chad Siewert. 

The draft itself lasted around two hours. As most of the teams had already tendered many players, the pre-draft fireworks were going off all the way up until the deadline yesterday. This set off a flurry of draft order trades, which kept things very interesting for the telecast hosted by NAHL & NA3HL Director of Communications Alex Kyrias and Media Content Manager Brandon Hofstra.

Here’s a closer look at the Texas Brahmas draft picks:
