2023 NHL Entry Draft Combine Results
The world's top ice hockey prospects are invited to the annual NHL pre-draft combine, with over 106 draft-eligible players from North American and Europe being tested (see the list of 2023 combine invitees). The combine assessment involves interviews, medical screenings, and fitness tests over a four-day period.
The 2023 NHL Scouting Combine was held from June 4 to June 10 at KeyBank Center and LECOM Harborcenter in Buffalo, N.Y, with physical testing conducted on the final day. This was the 28th time the annual NHL Draft Combine had been held.
Below are the top 10 results of the fitness assessments for the 2023 NHL Scouting Combine (see details of the testing procedures). See also a summary of previous NHL Entry Draft Combine Results.
