It was a draft to assign unaffiliated amateur junior-age players to NHL teams. It was held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. As was the case in the 1963 draft, amateur players turning 17 years of age between August 1, 1964, and July 31, 1965, were eligible, if they were not already sponsored by an NHL club. The order of the draft followed the agreement reached in 1963, where the order was fixed as Red Wings, Bruins, Rangers, Black Hawks, Maple Leafs and Canadiens. Once again each team received four picks, each team having the right to forfeit their selection and pass it to the next team in the order. All picks were exercised this year. Of the 24 players selected only nine played in the NHL. Syl Apps Jr., Jim Dorey, Tim Ecclestone and Mike Pelyk went on to have fruitful NHL careers, each playing well over 200 games a piece. Syl Apps Jr. played his last NHL game in the 1979-1980 NHL season, making him the last active player from this draft in the NHL Ken Dryden, selected with the Bruins' third pick, 14th overall, went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Canadiens.
