Jansen Harkins comes from a hockey family - his father and uncle both had long pro careers, including stints in the NHL, and has impressed scouts with his two way play. Drafted as the second overall pick in the WHL bantam draft, Harkins didn't make a big impact at first, but finished his first season in the Dub with 10-24-34 in 67 games, then turned it up for 20-59-79 in 70 games of the regular season, plus four assists in the Cougars first round appearance.
