Calgary Flames prospect Rory Kerins has had a very interesting last few years.
Kerins saw his draft eligible season with the Ontario Hockey League’s Soo Greyhounds cut short with four games remaining due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. He didn’t play an OHL game for 18 months, but emerged from that hiatus as one of the top offensive players in his league.
Originally from Caledon, a suburb in the Toronto region, Kerins came up through Mississauga minor hockey. He was a fourth round selection by the Greyhounds in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection – in a year where the Greyhounds selected Ryan O’Rourke in the first round and traded away their second and third round picks to load up for the playoffs.
