The 2026 WHL Prospects Draft once again highlighted the strength of Edge School's hockey program and its continued commitment to developing student-athletes for success at the next level.
Congratulations to all of you!
Although the WHL Draft represents an exciting milestone, it is only one step in the hockey journey. Edge School is equally proud of the many student-athletes who were not selected this year but continue to demonstrate tremendous growth, character and potential. Development paths look different for every player, and we look forward to seeing all of our Mountaineers continue to pursue their goals and opportunities at the next level.
