McKenna says he’d be ‘pretty pumped’ if taken No. 1 by Maple Leafs at 2026 NHL Draft
Penn State forward Gavin McKenna is the favorite to be selected with the No. 1 pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2026 NHL Draft on Friday, though Frolunda's Ivar Stenberg is also in consideration. The 18-year-old from Whitehorse, Yukon said he would be "pretty pumped" if drafted by Toronto and appears ready to embrace playing for the franchise and its passionate fanbase. McKenna's potential selection has already drawn attention, including from a Toronto fan who wore a custom Maple Leafs jersey with McKenna's name during an Eastern Conference playoff game.
