NHL Draft: Ducks First-Round Pick Roger McQueen Takes Flight Right Away

  • On Friday night in Los Angeles, the Anaheim Ducks chose Roger McQueen, a 6-foot-5, 192-pound center from Saskatoon, as their first-round selection at number 10 in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
  • McQueen’s participation in his draft year was restricted to just 17 games due to a lower back fracture, though earlier in the 2023-24 season, he had showcased his scoring talent by recording 21 goals and 51 points over 53 games.
  • Following the draft, the Ducks escorted McQueen and his parents by helicopter to Disneyland, where photos and videos of the visit were unveiled midway through the first round.
  • Ducks GM Pat Verbeek praised McQueen's size, skill, skating, and toughness, calling him an "extremely unique player" expected to be a power forward in the organization.
  • McQueen represents Canada internationally with a 2024 U18 gold medal, and his selection reflects Canada's strong draft presence with 88 players chosen, the most since 2016.
