Significance

Upon completion of testing, athletes are given access to an extensive on-line database with over 25,000 athletes tested by the WHL Combines. Athletes can set filters within the database by gender and age, to see how they compare. Athletes can also review progress reports within each individual test to self-assess, pin-point areas of needed improvement and make adjustments to their own training and skill development programs.

The test results for all WHL Combines are shared with all WHL General Managers and Head Scouts to track and identify future prospects for the draft and their teams.
