2026 NHL Draft Profile: Kadon McCann
Medicine Hat, AB – As we get closer to the 2026 NHL Draft in Buffalo, New York on June 26th and 27th, the Tigers are highlighting some draft eligible players that are hoping to hear their name called on draft day.
Originally selected in the second round (23rd overall) of the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft, Kadon McCann has shown promise from the start. The 6-foot-3 center has made a name for himself in front of the net, using his size to screen goaltenders and dig for loose rebounds. His elite hand-eye coordination allows him to deflect pucks no matter what angle they’re coming from to deceive the goaltender.
A 2025 WHL Champion, McCann has shown to be reliable in the regular season and the playoffs. He played every game in 2023-24 and 2025-26, while only missing four games in 2024-25. The Cochrane, Alberta native’s leadership and involvement in the community of Medicine Hat earned him the Tigers Community Service Award.
