"We were just walking down the street here like 10 minutes ago and he's like, 'Oh, that's where that happened,'" Victor recalled.

Victor recorded the top fatigue index score at the 2026 NHL Draft Combine during fitness testing earlier in June at LECOM Harborcenter.

He described his playing style as a two-way forward with offensive focus. "I describe myself as a two-way player, more on the offensive side," Victor said.

"But (I) like to score some goals here and there and lock it down in the D-zone."

His brothers advised him to enjoy the experience. "Just have fun," Victor said.

"Not everyone gets to be in the shoes you have, so just make the most of it."
