Nikolaj Ehlers is spending the next week in Toronto after spending the weekend in London. Ehlers, who was second in team scoring for your Halifax Mooseheads this past season, was invited to the 2014 NHL Draft Combine that is going to be held in Toronto, Ontario from May 26-31. He will be put through physical and medical tests and interviews by the teams. Interviews will be held Monday through Friday with a medical exam taking place on Friday and a series of physical testing done on Saturday. Nikolaj goes into the week as QMJHL and CHL Rookie of the Year and ranked 13th in the NHL.com list of North American draft prospects.

The Dashing Dane was two hours away in London this past weekend for the Canadian Hockey League awards that were held at the Memorial Cup tournament. He was nominated for two awards and took home the BMO Rookie of the Year award after leading all rookie scorers in the country with 49 goals and 105 points.
