A creative twist on traditional NHL training camps is set to debut for the 2026-27 season, blending the league’s real-world preparation with a fantasy-inspired format. Players will reportedly participate in a structured, game-like environment where their performance metrics are tracked and evaluated in a way that mirrors fantasy hockey scoring systems. The initiative aims to engage fans while offering teams a fresh approach to assessing player skills beyond conventional drills. Details on how this will integrate into the preseason remain under wraps, but the concept promises to add an interactive layer to the usual offseason routine.
