Yukon’s Gavin McKenna becomes only second Indigenous player selected No 1 in NHL draft

• Whitehorse winger goes first overall

• Justin Bieber announces Leafs' top pick

• Penn State star hails from Yukon capital

With most of Yukon watching and a loud presence of Maple Leafs fans in the stands, Toronto selected Penn State forward Gavin McKenna with the first pick in the NHL draft on Friday night.

The 18-year-old McKenna is from Yukon's capital of Whitehorse and has been a prolific scorer on both sides of the border, with his selection validating the projections of the left winger being his age group's top prospect more than two years ago.
