2013 NHL Entry Draft Combine Results

The annual NHL Entry Draft combine assessment involves interviews, medical screenings, and fitness tests over a four-day period. The combine in 2013 was administered as usual by Dr. Norm Gledhill, professor of kinesiology at York University, with the assistance of employees and graduate students from the York University Human Performance Lab. Below are the results of the fitness assessments for the 2013 NHL Scouting Combine (see details of the testing procedures).



The world's top ice hockey prospects are invited to the combine, with over 100 draft-eligible players from North American and Europe being tested at the Toronto Congress Centre, Canada. The combine was held from May 27 to June 1 - split into two parts that feature an interview process held May 27-30 followed by a fitness test on June 1. See the complete list of 2013 combine invitees. See also a summary of previous NHL Entry Draft Combine Results.
