Meet the Roster
Brent Burns
One of the most recognizable players of his generation, Brent Burns signed a one-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche in July 2025 after three seasons in Carolina and over a decade with the San Jose Sharks. The 41-year-old defenceman is a former Norris Trophy winner, a six-time All-Star, and during the 2025–26 season became just the second player in NHL history to reach 1,000 consecutive games played... an iron-man streak that speaks to the longevity Bladetech’s lower-impact ride is designed to support.
Josh Doan
Son of former NHL captain Shane Doan, Josh has stepped fully out of his father’s shadow in 2025–26. Acquired by Buffalo in the JJ Peterka trade in June 2025, the 23-year-old winger exploded for a career-best 25 goals and 52 points in his first full season as a Sabre, a hot start that earned him a seven-year, $48.65M extension in January 2026.
Jonathan Huberdeau
A former 115-point scorer and three-time All-Star, Jonathan Huberdeau has built his career on creativity, vision, and the ability to manipulate space at full speed. Drafted 3rd overall by Florida in 2011, he’s skated past Calder, Lady Byng, and All-Star milestones before being traded to Calgary in the 2022 Matthew Tkachuk blockbuster. His 2025–26 campaign was cut short on Feb 5, 2026 when the Flames announced he would miss the rest of the season for hip surgery.
Carson Carels
One of the most complete defencemen in the 2026 NHL Draft class, Carson Carels has spent his second WHL season cementing his status as a projected top-10 pick. The left-shot blueliner posted 20 goals and 73 points for the Prince George Cougars. The fourth-highest point total among WHL defencemen and the fifth-highest goal total while drawing scouting reports that single out his four-direction mobility and elite puck distribution.
Noah Dobson
The headline acquisition of Montreal’s 2025 offseason. Acquired in a sign-and-trade from the New York Islanders for Emil Heineman and two 2025 first-round picks, Noah Dobson immediately signed an eight-year, $76M contract and stepped into a top-pair role in his home country’s most demanding hockey market. The 25-year-old PEI product responded with a 47-point season over 80 games and returned for Game 7 of the Canadiens’ first-round series against Tampa on May 3.
Ivar Stenberg
The consensus #2 on most 2026 NHL Draft boards. Stenberg posted 33 points (11G–22A) in 43 SHL games as an 18-year-old, the most by any 18-year-old in the SHL since Daniel and Henrik Sedin in 1998–99. He led Sweden in scoring at the 2026 World Juniors with 4 goals and 6 assists in seven games, notching a goal and two assists in the gold medal game vs. Czechia. Sweden’s first WJC gold since 2012.
Adin Hill
Hill rode the hottest goaltending stretch of the 2023 playoffs all the way to a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights, and he’s been one of the league’s most consistent #1 options ever since. The 6′6″ netminder followed up a 32–13–5, .906 SV%, 2.47 GAA campaign in 2024–25 with a tougher start to 2025–26, but the platform, lateral push, edge stability in the butterfly, depth control on the slide is exactly where Bladetech’s edge retention plays the loudest.
Victor Eklund
Brother of Sharks forward William Eklund and the 16th overall pick at the 2025 NHL Draft, Victor finished his draft year with 24 points (6G–18A) in 43 SHL games for Djurgårdens IF, fourth-most among SHL rookies. Before making his North American debut with AHL Bridgeport on March 27, where he posted nine points in his first seven games. He won World Juniors gold with Sweden in January with 8 points (2G–6A).
Madden Daneault
The first overall pick of the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft. The Kelowna Rockets selected the Red Deer, Alberta centre on May 6, 2026, one day before his 15th birthday. He was drafted after a historic AEHL season in which he posted a record 149 points (65G–84A) in 34 games for the Red Deer U15AAA Rebels. Two-time John Reid Memorial MVP and back-to-back AEHL U15 First Team All-Star.
Nela Lopušanová
The most-watched young player in women’s hockey. A Slovakian winger whose senior-league debut at 13 produced a league-leading 6.67 points-per-game pace, Nela Lopušanová has gone on to dominate IIHF U18 competition (5G–6A at the 2025 IIHF Women’s U18s), claim the European Olympic Committees’ Best Young Athlete award, and earn a spot on Forbes Slovakia’s 30-under-30 list... all before adulthood.
