Tigers select budding star McKenna first overall in WHL Prospects Draft
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It was likely the worst kept secret in junior hockey, but the Medicine Hat Tigers finally have the cornerstone of their rebuild.
Holding the first overall pick in the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft on Thursday, the Tigers selected Rink Hockey Academy – Kelowna standout Gavin McKenna to join the fold.
McKenna immediately becomes the Tigers’ most promising young prospect, leading the CSSHL U18 ranks in scoring with 23 goals and 65 points in just 35 games despite being just 14 years old.
