PROFESSIONAL CAREER Drafted 3rd overall at 21 by the New York Steel Hawks after lighting up junior leagues with his blistering speed and hockey IQ. Won Rookie of the Year (Calder Trophy) with 28 goals and 45 assists, instantly becoming the fan-favorite "Rocket." Named youngest captain in franchise history (26) after legend Aleksi Vänskä handed him the “C”, calling him "the future this team needs." A playmaking savant, leads the league in assists (58) and shorthanded goals (9), but critics whispered he’s "too young" for the captaincy. He has since proven them wrong.
