The USHL Players Development Staff has recognized five (5) players from the U16 Midget Minor Team as participants in the USHL Pre-Draft Combine. 

Dante Zapata (98), Lucas McKinnon (98), Tom Berg (98), Kienan Lundstrom (98), and Matt Jaglo (99) will all be participating in their respective years combine.

Players who are invited to participate in the Combine will have the opportunity to showcase their skill while playing in a minimum of four (4) games in front of USHL Coaches and Scouts, as well as NCAA Coaches.

Invitees will also be subjected to off-ice physical and cognitive testing.  There will also be classroom presentations to help players better understand what it takes to play in the USHL.  This is a key part in the 98 and 99 birth years as it is an opportunity to be seen prior to the USHL Draft.
