NHL Draft

From N.Y. to Texas to Omaha, Hunter McDonald on a fast road

After playing a waiting game with his development, defenseman Hunter McDonald is starting to see the road to college and professional hockey take shape for him.

McDonald, a 19-year-old Fairport, N.Y., native, just completed his second junior hockey season, but first in the USHL as a rookie with the Omaha Lancers.

Despite the uncertainty of a pandemic and how that disruption would impact the 2020-21 season, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound McDonald committed himself to leaving the safety net at home to play in the USA’s only Tier 1 junior hockey league, and that experience is paying major dividends for him after a superb first campaign.
