Seth Jarvis's story

Growing up in Winnipeg, Jarvis learned the game playing for local clubs such as the Tuxedo Lightning, the Assiniboine Park Rangers and the Winnipeg Monarchs while attending Shaftesbury High School. Those early years in Manitoba provided the foundation that carried him into major-junior competition and ultimately to NHL consideration.

Carolina selected him 13th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, and the club signed him to a three-year entry-level deal on December 28, 2020. He broke into the NHL in 2021, recording his first point in his debut and scoring his first goal in his second game against Marc-André Fleury. The quick transition from prospect to NHL contributor was evident from the start.

Jarvis established himself as a consistent offensive presence for the Hurricanes. He closed out his rookie season with 17 goals and 23 assists for 40 points in 68 games. Notable milestones include his first career hat trick on February 16, 2023, and a second on November 28, 2025. In March 2026 he notched his third straight 30-goal season, joining a short list of franchise players to do so, and in August 2024 he agreed to an eight-year, $63.2 million extension with Carolina. The 2025–26 campaign culminated with a Stanley Cup victory on June 14, 2026.

Internationally, Jarvis has represented Canada at multiple events. He played for Canada Red at the 2018 World U-17 Hockey Challenge and earned silver at the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup. He was part of Canada's roster that won the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off and was added to the Olympic squad for the 2026 Winter Games, where Canada took silver.

On the ice Jarvis is defined by his offensive instincts and willingness to drive to the net. He combines playmaking with finishing ability, a blend that has allowed him to contribute goals and assists consistently within Carolina's forward group.
