McQueen measured 6'5.25 "at the NHL combine, and yet he is surprisingly light on his feet. He has a remarkable ability to move with the puck and slalom around defenders.

Roger McQueen was the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft by the Anaheim Ducks. The nine guys chosen before him didn't get to celebrate the way he did, though. McQueen quickly swung by Disneyland, because he had to meet his relative, Lightning McQueen.

The team selects the lanky center from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan 10th overall, then flies him from Downtown L.A. to Downtown Disney by helicopter to celebrate.
