If you didn’t know, Gavin McKenna is pretty sick. In fact, there’s almost no way that you don’t know after his absolutely absurd hat-trick against Denmark in the World Juniors.

That last one was just disgusting!!
While we’ve been watching Gavin for a while now, the World Juniors is the first opportunity for a lot of these guys to REALLY explode in exposure and popularity. Luckily for us, McKenna took a little time out of his busy schedule ahead of World Juniors to participate in some fun stuff with the BarDown team.
We couldn’t think of a way to include him fairly other than, well... ALRIGHT, GAVIN VS. EVERYONE!!
Turns out it still wasn’t fair.
To answer the question in the title, we’re going to need more beer leaguers. We thought five would be enough, but we thought wrong. In fact, we’re starting to think Gavin could make a fool out of most skaters in a 1 vs. 5 scenario.
We’re calling it now; the 2026 NHL Entry Draft is OFFICIALLY the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes!
