June 2025 – Selected 53rd overall, Cole McKinney is now a member of the San Jose Sharks. Mark Henry

Final Rankings – Arguably the most consistent member of the NTDP this season, McKinney is a 200-foot center with good maturity and hockey sense. He’s a reliable player with a mature game who could be a middle-six NHLer if he can add more speed to his skating. A skillset tailored for pro hockey.—Austin Kelly

January 2025- Cole McKinney is a polished 2 way centre out of the USNTDP with a detail-oriented, professional play style. He’s a mature player, often staying under the puck and rarely cheating for offence. McKinney has shown commitment at both ends of the ice and is a player coaches may appreciate more than GMs. Due to his lack of production, it’s easy to grow weary of his offensive upside at the next level. McKinney’s raw shooting talent is there, but he’s been a product of a very weak NTDP class that has struggled to score goals and win games. Nonetheless, McKinney has looked good in isolation and will have time to develop at the NCAA Michigan. Whittaker Heart
