Jared McCann's story
Raised in Stratford, Ontario, Jared McCann learned to play on frozen ponds before moving up the minor‑hockey ladder and joining the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 2012; his play there earned him a spot in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in January 2014.
Vancouver selected McCann 24th overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and signed him to a three‑year entry‑level deal that July. He made his NHL debut in October 2015 and scored his first goal a few days later against the Calgary Flames. After a full season with the Canucks, he was traded to the Florida Panthers in May 2016.
In Florida McCann split time between the NHL club and the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL before carving out a steadier role; a February 2019 trade sent him to Pittsburgh, where he continued to raise his offensive totals and signed a two‑year extension in 2020. A brief stint with Toronto followed in July 2021, and Seattle selected him in the expansion draft days later.
McCann emerged as a primary offensive piece for the Kraken, setting franchise marks with 40 goals and 70 points in 2022–23 and reaching milestones such as his 500th NHL game. He became the first player in franchise history to sign a multi‑year extension with Seattle and has twice been honoured with the team’s Pete Muldoon Award. He also recorded Seattle’s first player milestone of 100 goals as a member of the club.
On the ice McCann is defined by goal scoring and shot volume: he consistently creates chances, finishes at even strength and fits into top‑line roles. His résumé traces a steady climb from junior prospect to a leading offensive forward for an NHL expansion franchise.
