2015 NHL Entry Draft Combine Results
This was the 22nd time the annual NHL Draft Combine had been held. The combine assessment involves interviews, medical screenings, and fitness tests over a four-day period.
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 (the complete list of 2015 combine invitees).
The Combine was held for the first time in Buffalo, at the First Niagara Center and HarborCenter. The medical examinations of each player took place June 4, and a majority of the fitness testing on June 6 at HarborCenter.
Below are the results of the fitness assessments for the 2015 NHL Scouting Combine (see details of the testing procedures). See also a summary of previous NHL Entry Draft Combine Results.
