The very first F-liiga Draft event is held at the Bläk Boks Arena in Lempäälä, Finland on Wednesday 17th May. The draft is held right before the annual season awards celebration, F-gaala.
F-liiga men will be the first to try the new system named Floorball Talent Hunt as for F-liiga women’s teams it will start in 2024. This is also the first draft event for floorball in Europe.
There will be three rounds at the F-liiga Draft. This means that every club picks three players and the pick order is set by the final results of the season 2022-2023. The two teams having only secured their F-liiga spots in relegation, will get the first draft picks with the club placed last starting. From there on, each club will have their turn with F-liiga champions having the last pick. This means FBC Turku will start the draft and TPS being the champions will be last to pick on each round.
