NHL draft prospects old

Have you ever wanted to feel old for absolutely no reason? Prospects from the 2025 Upper Deck NHL Draft are here to help.

Some of the NHL's future stars helped record a video that would make even the most youthful adults feel their age.

For instance, defenseman and potential No. 1 pick Matthew Schaefer says that he was born two months after "Transformers" hit movie theaters.

Forward James Hagens? He was born the same time the Sony PlayStation came out -- no wait, the PlayStation 3. Forward Caleb Desnoyers was born one month before "Shrek" hit theaters. Wait, no, that is "Shrek 3" as well.

Forward Jake O'Brien was born the same month "The Sopranos" ended on HBO.

If that doesn't have you reaching for a cane and comfy chair, we will add that Upper Deck shipped out its first trading cards in 1989, meaning that a child born the same day would be off to college before defenseman prospect Jackson Smith was even born.

Pass the oatmeal and fiber, grandma. It's almost time for our stories.
