The National Hockey League and the Buffalo Sabres today announced the NHL Scouting Combine will remain in Buffalo through 2022, with each of the next three events being held at KeyBank Center and LECOM Harborcenter. The NHL Scouting Combine, which showcases the top draft-eligible prospects from North America and Europe ahead of the NHL Draft, has been held in Buffalo since 2015.
The event, held annually in late May and early June, consists of player interviews, medical assessments and a series of physical fitness tests. All NHL member Clubs have the opportunity to conduct individual interviews with players in preparation for the NHL Draft. This year's event will run from June 1-6.

Since 2015, more than 500 draft-eligible players have come to Buffalo for the Scouting Combine, including the Sabres' No. 1 overall pick Rasmus Dahlin (2018) and No. 2 overall pick Jack Eichel (2015), and last year's No. 1 overall pick Jack Hughes (New Jersey Devils).
