Ben McCartney has scored at every level of hockey he's played, and even a brief call up to AHL Tucson after his Western Hockey League junior season ended, his performance resulted in the now 20-year-old forward scoring points.
McCartney, whom the Coyotes chose in the seventh and final round of last year's NHL Entry Draft, had a goal and assist in his first game as a Roadrunner on May 8. His four-game regular-season stint with Tucson ended with five points, and he played in the team's lone playoff game after that.
The Tucson jump came on the heels of a COVID-shortened WHL season with the Brandon Wheat Kings, where McCartney scored 13 goals with 24 assists along with 29 penalty minutes in just 24 games.
