Paragon Sports Consulting is thrilled to celebrate our client, Landon Nycz, who was recently highlighted in Scott Wheeler’s 2026 NHL Draft ranking article in The Athletic. As a standout defenseman, Nycz earned a spot among Wheeler’s preseason top 32 prospects with an honorable mention among 39 additional players to watch for the 2026 NHL Draft.

This season, Nycz will take the ice for UMass Amherst as the second-youngest player in the NCAA, showcasing his elite talent and readiness to compete at the collegiate level. Wheeler’s recognition underscores Nycz’s dynamic defensive play and bright future, positioning him as a top prospect in a draft class led by players like Gavin McKenna.

At Paragon Sports Consulting, we are dedicated to supporting Landon’s development, both on and off the ice, as he continues his journey toward the NHL. Congratulations to Landon on this well-deserved recognition, and we look forward to his success at UMass Amherst and beyond!
