The National Lacrosse League will conduct a dispersal draft of Anaheim Storm players Wednesday afternoon.

The two-round draft, necessary after the Storm suspended operations in June, will be held via conference call, beginning at 4:00 PM Eastern.

Teams are not required to select players, but for each player taken, that team must release a player from its 23-man active roster. Portland and Edmonton, as expansion teams, are exempt from this rule.

Selection order is based on last season's results, with the first-year teams drafting first, then the non-playoff teams, then the six postseason qualifiers. Edmonton selects before Portland as the result of a coin flip.

All teams except Buffalo and Toronto have at least one pick in the dispersal draft. The Bandits and Rock traded their first-round selections in trades after last week's expansion draft, and only the expansion teams and playoff non-qualifiers will be drafting in the second round.

The order of selection is as follows:


##  TEAM

 1  Edmonton
