2022 NHL Combine’s Top Fitness Test Performers

The top prospects of the 2022 NHL Draft have been measured and weighed. They’ve gone through the interview process. They’ve endured the rigors of the various fitness testing. It’s time to tally up the results.

Throughout the course of the last week, prospects went through a total of 18 different events which included tests of strength and endurance along with other measurements. Seven of those tests were performed on Saturday ending with the dreaded Wingate test.

Here’s the Wingate test, which most NHL prospects say is harder than the VO2 max, which was done yesterday using the same spin cycles.

Wingate = 30 secs all out.
