I am not familiar with A-B's procedures, but typically no unless it's previously come up in a medical that they have an abnormality, murmur or a genetic pre-disposition for any heart conditions. If you are a typical healthy 16 year old with no previous issues or family history of problems, you would not have any further testing. Even EKG's are discretionary and typically decided on a team by team basis. It was only recently they made them mandatory for the majority NHL players.
