2018 NHL Entry Draft Combine Results
The world's top ice hockey prospects are invited to the annual NHL pre-draft combine, with over 100 draft-eligible players from North American and Europe being tested (see the list of 2018 combine invitees). The combine assessment involves interviews, medical screenings, and fitness tests over a four-day period.
The Combine was held for the third time in Buffalo, from May 28 to June 2 at KeyBank Center and Harbor Center. This was the 25th time the annual NHL Draft Combine had been held.
Below are the results of the fitness assessments for the 2018 NHL Scouting Combine (see details of the testing procedures). See also a summary of previous NHL Entry Draft Combine Results.
