The Melville Millionaires came away with a deep and promising haul at the 2025 SJHL Draft, using a mix of early and mid-round picks to secure both offensive firepower and steady defensive talent.
The club made 10 selections in both the 2009 and 2010-born age groups, aiming to stock the pipeline with homegrown Saskatchewan talent ready to develop into future contributors.
