ST. PAUL, Minn. — It sure seems like Gavin McKenna is living up to the expectations surrounding him as the projected No. 1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft through four games at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Craig Button, TSN director of scouting and a former NHL general manager, has been one of McKenna’s biggest proponents since watching him as a 14-year-old for the RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna Under-18 prep team.
McKenna is 18 now, and Button is sure about one thing.
