Tye Kartye's story
Growing up in Kingston, Ontario, Tye Kartye learned his hockey in local programs, finishing a minor season with 28 goals and 51 points over 36 games and helping La Salle Secondary School capture a first-ever Kingston area school championship in 2017.
Selected in the eighth round of the 2017 OHL Priority Selection by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, Kartye did not stick with the club right away but returned stronger and signed with the Greyhounds in September 2018. He scored his first junior goal that November and, used both down the middle and on the left wing, steadily increased his role and production in junior ranks.
By 2021–22 he was an overage leader for Sault Ste. Marie, recording his first OHL hat-trick, serving as an alternate captain, and reaching the 100-point milestone in his career. That season he posted 45 goals and 79 points in 63 regular-season games, finished his OHL tenure with 74 goals and 156 points in 191 games, earned a place on the OHL Third All-Star Team and was a finalist for the Leo Lalonde Memorial Trophy.
Seattle signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on March 1, 2022. Playing for the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds in 2022–23, Kartye led league rookies with 57 points in 72 games, won the Dudley “Red” Garrett Memorial Award and made the AHL Rookie All-Star team. Recalled by Seattle in April 2023, he made his NHL debut in game 5 of the first-round playoff series and scored his first NHL goal in that appearance.
After parts of several seasons with the Kraken, including a 2025–26 campaign that ended when he was placed on waivers, Kartye was claimed by the New York Rangers on February 27, 2026. He joins a group of bottom-six forwards expected to help the team through work in the defensive zone. His game is defined by physical play, board battles and an ability to chip in offensively when given opportunity.
