Everyone from the 2026 NHL Draft class is coming to town! For the remainder of the camp, they’re skewing young, with the list of players not attending being essentially guys the organization on-boarded into the pro ranks last season (Abram Wiebe and Tyson Gross), kids that have already been to a few of these (Axel Hurtig, Eric Jamieson and Trevor Hoskin), and a handful of Europeans (Kirill Zarubin, Theo Stockselius and Yan Matveiko). Defender Henry Mews is listed as not participating on ice, which shouldn’t surprise anybody given he’s coming off knee surgery last season.

Coming in on invites are North Michigan goaltender Oliver Auyeung-Ashton, Penn State goaltender Josh Fleming, Brantford centre Ryder Boulton, Shawinigan centre Kody Dupuis and Vancouver centre Brett Olson.
