Calgary, AB. - The Vancouver Giants have selected Tyler Benson with their first overall pick in the 2013 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

"We are very excited to have selected Tyler with the first overall pick. He has proven to be a mature player who doesn't only produce but also makes everyone around him better," Giants' executive vice president and general manager, Scott Bonner said in a statement.
"He will be a great addition to the organization," added Giants' majority owner Ron Toigo. "Tyler has the potential of being a player we can build our franchise around."
