Monday & Tuesday the Force reloaded their roster with the 2020 draft. In total, 30 players were selected from across the continent with a few even coming from across the pond. Not going to pretend like I know anything about these guys except what the team released but here is their draft in summation:

Just before the second phase began, Fargo made a trade with Sioux City for defenseman Scott Morrow in return for their first pick. The North Dakota commit finished last season with 67 points while playing for Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep in Faribault, MN.

It's the first step in the next iteration of the roster getting put together. The next step will be tryout camp, which is scheduled to take place the second weekend in July. It's simultaneously not much and a lot, depending on how you look at it. For the 30 players, it's the next step in them chasing a dream and that's immensely significant!
