Willie Desjardins, former head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, is now guiding Gavin McKenna with the Medicine Hat Tigers. McKenna, a top prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft, is impressing with his scoring ability and agility, leading the WHL in points.

As he prepares for the world junior hockey championship, McKenna aims to follow in the footsteps of past Canadian stars. Desjardins believes McKenna's unique skills will captivate fans and make him a standout player in the tournament.
