Ryan Roobroeck 2026 NHL Draft profile.
Ryan Roobroeck was drafted No. 35 (Round 2) by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2026 NHL Draft, a C from Canada currently with Niagara IceDogs, OHL. He was the consensus #30 prospect pre-draft.

Scouting read
Roobroeck is a big scoring center with a Heavy Shooter, Sniper, Two-Way Forward profile. Still viewed as a top-six bet despite regression concerns (Dobber Prospects, James Connelly/Dobber scouting staff). He also drew a 2026 NHL Combine invite. The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. That still leaves enough skill to picture a top-six or hard middle-six outcome. He is in the first-round mix, with a #4-#30 public range across 9 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 28th among North American skaters. For context, he ranks 224th of 1,196 among OHL U19 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
