After witnessing one of the greatest individual performances I've seen at the #U18MensWorld, I took a long look at WHL phenom Gavin McKenna. He's the 2026 #NHLDraft prospect you will not stop hearing about for the next two years. #U18Worlds https://t.co/GIf46C8eXw

Gavin McKenna, a new (young) face of this sport. Seven games. 10 goals. 10 assists. 20 points. And a gold medal hat-trick. Says shooting for the World Juniors next year is “a goal for sure.” https://t.co/BMyyEoqyFZ
Wild game. Canada trailed 3-2 in the third, but scored 3 times on a 5 minute power play to take the gold. 16 year old Gavin McKenna had a hat trick for Canada recording a Canadian record 20 points in the tournament. He’s a late 2007 born, not eligible for the draft until 2026. https://t.co/btFSop41dZ

USA up 3-2 after 2 at the #U18MensWorlds. They'll have 35 seconds remaining on the power play to start the third. Shots were 19-5 USA in the second period. Canada has that skill that can change the game so quickly despite losing possession battle badly. #U18Worlds #NHLDraft
🚨 Cole²* goal for Cole Eiserman's 127th with the @USAHockeyNTDP... Pushing him past... Cole* for the record 👀 *Cole Hutson with the assist and Cole Caufield's record broken... in case you were wondering #U18Worlds #NHLDraft https://t.co/SVcPRqpYnM
Cole Hutson makes it 3-1 USA on a tremendous cross-crease feed from Shane Vansaghi. Came right after a tremendous defensive play on Gavin McKenna 200 feet away. Canada takes a time out. #NHLDraft #U18Worlds #U18MensWorlds
There is a new scoring champion at the @USAHockeyNTDP. Cole Eiserman scores his 127th career goal, but more importantly has made it 2-1 USA over Canada in the gold-medal game. Incredible entry by Cole Hutson, dish to Eiserman, to twine. #U18Worlds #U18MensWorlds #NHLDraft

😧GAVIN MCKENNA! 🤯 He sets the record for most points by a Canadian at the #U18Worlds with his 16th of the tournament with a highlight-reel goal! Roll it… https://t.co/vCZqmMuVf2
Gavin McKenna says roll the highlight reel as he grabs his prettiest goal of the tournament to make it 2-0 Canada. His 16th point, a new Canadian record for points in a single tournament at the #U18MensWorlds.
Cole Eiserman scores on the power play to tie Cole Caufield for the most career goals in NTDP history. That's No. 126 of Eiserman's decorated NTDP career on what has turned out to be a historic day for Team USA overall. #U18MensWorlds #U18Worlds #NHLDraft
