USHL Players at NHL Scouting Combine
As NHL teams make their final preparations for the NHL Entry Draft in
June, they will get an up-close look at the top prospects this week
during the NHL Scouting Combine. Among the 100 players invited to the
Combine are 13 who spent the 2009-10 season in the USHL.
The NHL Scouting Combine, which will run May 24-29 in Toronto and is
conducted by NHL Central Scouting, is an opportunity for NHL teams to
meet and interview prospects, as well as see them tested in an off-ice
setting, which includes vigorous physical, medical, and psychological
tests.
