Gavin McKenna's Player Profile

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - July 19th: "While we’ve given the ‘generational talent’ to players like Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard, McKenna could be added to that list as he’s an elite-level, offensive dynamo. His high-end speed, puck skills, offensive awareness and compete level are miles ahead of everyone else in this class and is a constant dominant force offensively."

Hannah Stuart - Bleacher Report - July 19th: "McKenna is one of those players you want to slap a generational label on from early days. He's phenomenally gifted offensively, able to process play at the game's top speeds; play-driving is an understatement."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - July 4th: "There simply isn’t a single technical flaw in his game. He’s an incredible skater, an outstanding passer, a tremendous shooter, and as good a skater as you’ll find."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 20th: "What will make Gavin McKenna the No. 1 pick however is his impressive pace, ability to process the game at remarkable speeds and hand skills that will make more than a few defenders look silly even at the NHL level. He is a play-driving winger who craves the puck and makes plays in any way you can imagine."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - April 1st: "He’s a brilliant puck transporter, transition machine and get-out-of-jail-free card who routinely skates pucks out of the zone himself and relieves pressure. He’s so, so shifty with the puck, blending shoulder fakes into his playmaking."
