Nolan Patrick, who's also a potential No. 1 pick, also received the "bike guy" treatment.

The combine allows NHL general managers and scouts to meet and interview draft-eligible players, as well as put them through the ringer to see where their fitness levels are at.
This test is one of several, but Hischier, Patrick, and the rest of this year's crop of prospects aren't likely to forget "bike guy" anytime soon.
