A total of 23 OHL players were invited to this week’s 2022 NHL Scouting Combine taking place at HarborCenter in Buffalo, New York.
The NHL Scouting Combine provides prospects an opportunity to put their fitness and strength attributes on display, in addition to a chance to meet with NHL clubs on location.
Among the combine’s invitees was Guelph Storm forward Jake Karabela. In his debut OHL season Karabela posted 45 points (12G, 33A) in 68 games played.
Additionally, Karabela was named an assistant captain for the CHL Top Prospects Game where he had a dominant performance with a goal and an assist to help Team White to a 3-1 victory.
The Guelph forward finished on NHL Central Scouting’s Final list as the 62nd Ranked North American Skater, and was recently listed in The Hockey News’s Top 100 Prospects for the NHL Draft as the 69th top prospect.
