Lukas Fischer amongst 48 CHL players participating in the 2024 NHL Scouting Combine
Forty-eight CHL players are set to take part in the 2024 NHL Scouting Combine this week at the KeyBank Center and HarborCenter in Buffalo, New York.
Of the 48 CHL attendees, 23 are from the OHL, 19 from the WHL and six from the QMJHL.
“The NHL combine is the final showcase event before the NHL draft and it’s a week full of interviews, medicals and fitness testing where the players get to interact with NHL personnel and the NHL clubs get to learn as much as possible about the future stars of our game,” NHL Central Scouting Director Dan Marr said.
In NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft, 20 of the top 32 North American skaters listed were CHL players. Led by Medicine Hat’s Cayden Lindstrom at no. 3, Saginaw’s Zayne Parekh (no. 5), London’s Sam Dickinson (no. 7), Spokane’s Berkly Catton (no. 8) and Kelowna’s Tij Iginla (no. 9) were all ranked inside the Top 10.
The combine will see 100 top prospects (62 forwards, 35 defencemen and three goaltenders) undergo a final round of physical and medical assessments and interview with interested NHL clubs ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft. For a full list of participants, click here.
The 2024 NHL Draft takes place June 28-29 in Las Vegas, Nevada where the San Jose Sharks own the first overall pick.
