Owen Tippett's story

On 17 October 2017, Owen Tippett made his first NHL appearance and fired seven shots in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers — an early sign of his goal-scoring instincts. Born 16 February 1999 in Peterborough, Ontario, he entered major junior hockey after Mississauga selected him fourth overall in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection and earned a spot on the OHL First All-Rookie Team following his 2015–16 campaign.

Tippett broke out in 2016–17 with Mississauga, finishing the regular season with 44 goals and 75 points in 60 games and helping the Steelheads reach the J. Ross Robertson Cup final. His junior career included a mid-season move on 5 January 2019, when Mississauga traded him to the Saginaw Spirit; he produced strong numbers there and helped Saginaw to the top of its division.

Viewed as a top prospect for his skating and shooting, Tippett was drafted 10th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and signed a three-year entry-level contract on 19 July 2017. After making Florida’s opening roster in 2017–18, he played seven NHL games before being returned to junior on 7 November 2017 to continue developing. He also went back to the Steelheads following Florida’s 2018 training camp and completed the 2018–19 junior season split between Mississauga and Saginaw.

Just before the 2022 trade deadline, on 19 March 2022, Florida traded Tippett to the Philadelphia Flyers in a multi-piece deal. The Flyers extended him with a two-year, $3 million contract on 29 July 2022. With Philadelphia he recorded his first NHL hat trick on 17 March 2023 against the Buffalo Sabres and later agreed to an eight-year, $49.6 million extension on 26 January 2024.

Plainly put, Tippett’s strengths are his shot and his sense for the net. From his junior scoring surge to his early NHL moments, he is best described as a natural finisher who looks to create and convert opportunities in the offensive zone. He is a cousin of forward Mitchell Stephens.
