NHL ENTRY DRAFT


July 8, 1995


Shane Doan


EDMONTON, ALBERTA

No, actually I was kind of surprised that that was happening. I was very kind of surprised what they did, actually, so --

It is so unique. I will never experience something like that again, so it is really neat. It is a great experience to be here for the past 2, three days. I have loved it. I am so happy to be going to Winnipeg. It is a first class organization and I am just -- I don't know what to say.

That is excellent my mom and dad were really hoping for something like that and I guess they got what they wanted and not too often that happens. I am just so lucky. I am very thankful.

Yeah. Bill came to the ran much. We had a great time up there and just it was really informal. Just really got to get to know him, I guess, and it was good, but you know, pretty nice to everybody. It is pretty hard to tell.

Q. Pretty good for you and Jarome to go to 7 and 11?

Yeah, AGEE went 11. That is great. He deserved to go higher. He is a great guy. He is -- I really like him as a player and he is a great friend too.

He went down the COO. It just rained down there. It was a little muddy.

I don't know, I mean, it was really unique. I mean, I will never experience another summer like this. This June was phenomenal to have all the interviews and everything. It is kind of an ego boost. I guess with all -- it was really neat. I had a great time. So at the same time, I wanted to get it over with, but it was really neat to experience it.

I don't know. I mean, Edmonton is a great team. Winnipeg is phenomenal. They have so much talent there. They had a few injuries that hurt them this year and next year they are going to have a great team and in the future they probably have the best sentiment in the whole league with ZHAMNOV. A guy like I pattern myself after KEITH; to have someone to watch, it is great.

Q. What about the feeling of having 12,000 people chanting your name?

It was kind of different. I didn't expect that.

It is so exciting. I wasn't nervous until I actually got in the building. Then they say said first WEEK SENATORS, oh, then I was really nervous. It didn't hit me until then.

I don't know. It is tough. Everybody wants to play NHL, but I mean, you don't want to wreck your development, so it wouldn't hurt me to go back to Junior but at the same time, I would want to learn from the best and the best is in the NHL and Winnipeg, so I'd love to go there and watch and learn and so I will just have to let the coaching staff decide on make that decision.

Yeah, I mean, to have this opportunity given to you, it is an honor and so I am really excited to have a chance to do well and to go to a team that I did.
