Scouting Combine 2026

  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
Also reported that they didnt meet with Caleb Malhotra.

They did go out for dinner with Mckenna, Reid and Stenberg though ( perhaps this is their top 3 )




 
True snooze fest. I don’t recall the combine threads to have been this quiet before.
It’s less about the boring factor and more about the fact that it’s 4pm EST and we haven’t gotten even a shred of information out of this thing. Usually that physical information is out by Friday morning at the latest. Did they cancel the thing and not tell us?

VO2 today, so surprised haven't seen any media about that. Also the top 6 guys are doing the media availabilty today.

Grip strength, Y flexibility test, and isokinetic squat were all "private" and yesterday, and today, I believe, but yeah, surprising not to even hear/see anything at all about results yet.

I think measurements and the bulk of the physical testing is tomorrow and we should see all the stuff come out then. It was slow last year too but it feels slower this year.

Proof that McKenna has done the VO2 test -- but no results. This is the only thing i've seen released on NHL media so far.

 
Teams are starting to release videos of their media availabilities from this morning / afternoon, so hopefully by tomorrow we'll start seeing concrete measurement numbers and combine results.

Also, should add that Chayka said he was 'very found' of Stenberg. Thought that was an interesting comment. Read into it what you will.

I’m sure he is. Nothing wrong with praising a great prospect. I’m sure 32 GMs are fond of him and would love to have him but I expect Toronto will pick McKenna when all is said and done.

Final score: 16ml/kg/min. Cannot walk from Pegula Arena to Doggie's Pub without finding himself out of breath and doubled over. A definite value pick in the 3rd round
