Jansen Harkins's story
Born in Cleveland and raised in North Vancouver, Jansen Harkins learned his hockey in British Columbia while growing up as the son of former NHLer Todd Harkins. He climbed the junior ladder after being taken second overall in the Prince George bantam draft and later selected 47th overall by the Winnipeg Jets at the 2015 NHL Draft.
In Prince George Harkins developed into a playmaker. He debuted in the WHL in 2012–13 and by 2014–15 led the Cougars in scoring, setting a franchise record for assists that season. He represented Canada Pacific as a captain at the 2014 World Hockey Challenge, skated in the 2015 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game and earned the Dan Hamhuis Award as Prince George’s most valuable player before finishing his junior career as the club’s all‑time leader in assists and points.
Harkins turned pro with an amateur tryout with the Manitoba Moose in April 2016 and signed an entry-level deal with Winnipeg in April 2017. After early AHL struggles he broke through in 2019–20 with 31 points in 30 games, was named the AHL’s Player of the Month in November, played in the 2020 AHL All‑Star Classic and was Manitoba’s MVP. He made his NHL debut on December 21, 2019, registered his first assist that night, and scored his first NHL goal on February 6, 2020 against Jordan Binnington.
His professional path has alternated between the NHL and the minors: contract extensions with Winnipeg in 2020 and 2022, loans to Jacksonville in the ECHL and multiple assignments to Manitoba, then a waiver claim by Pittsburgh on October 2, 2023. He split time between Pittsburgh and Wilkes‑Barre/Scranton, eventually settling onto Pittsburgh’s fourth line before signing a two‑year deal with Anaheim in July 2024, beginning with the San Diego Gulls and receiving several recalls, and later agreeing to a one‑year, two‑way contract with Tampa Bay for 2026–27.
Internationally Harkins represented Canada at youth tournaments, taking gold at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and bronze at the 2015 IIHF U18 World Championship. His game is defined by playmaking and centre‑ice awareness — he consistently creates chances with passing and positioning, traits that have kept him useful in middle‑lining and penalty‑killing roles.
