Inferno should look to shore up defense, goaltending at CWHL Draft Sunday

Fifty-five players, including a record four from Japan, are hoping to make the cut on one of the five teams in the Canadian Women's Hockey League Sunday afternoon in Toronto.

The Inferno (who had two first overall picks in 2012 and 2013 as Team Alberta) will select fourth in each round, as they finished in second place in the CWHL standings last season. Brampton will choose first, Toronto second, Montreal third, and last year's Clarkson Cup champion Boston, fifth.

Calgary has a little bit of work to do after making strides toward becoming a serious perennial contender in the CWHL.
