Toronto, Ont. - The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Calgary Flames prospect Rory Kerins of the Soo Greyhounds is the OHL Player of the Week with a league-leading 10 points including five goals and five assists over three games including a plus/minus rating of plus-3. • Kerins got the week started with a four-point performance on Wednesday night as the Greyhounds defeated the visiting Sudbury Wolves 4-3 in overtime. Kerins scored twice, tying the game with a third period power play marker before collecting an assist on Tye Kartye's game winner. His dominance carried over into Friday's home date against the North Bay Battalion as Kerins posted a career-high six points including his first OHL hat-trick as the Hounds outgunned the Troops 8-5. Kerins' six points were the most by a Greyhounds player in a single game since Nick Cousins recorded six on Feb. 16, 2013 against the Kingston Frontenacs. Kerins was held off the scoresheet on Saturday as the Hounds fell to the Battalion 4-2 on home ice. The 5-foot-11, 186Ib. centreman was an impressive 68 percent in the faceoff circle last week, winning 51 of his 75 draws. • A 19-year-old from Caledon, Ont., Kerins is currently tied for the OHL lead in scoring with his 14 points (8-6--14) over eight games. His 61.8 percent success rate in the faceoff circle is third among centremen with at least 100 faceoff attempts this season. Kerins was a sixth round (174th overall) pick by the Calgary Flames in the 2020 NHL Draft and made his pro debut with the organization last season, appearing in four games with the AHL's Stockton Heat. The Greyhounds selected him with their fourth round (71st overall) pick in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection from the Mississauga Rebels U16 program. • Kerins becomes the first Greyhounds player to earn the weekly honour since Morgan Frost last did so from Jan. 14-20, 2019. • Also considered for the award this week were San Jose Sharks prospect Danil Gushchin of the Niagara IceDogs who finished the week with nine points including five goals and four assists over three contests. Gushchin's first career OHL hat-trick headlined an IceDogs win over the Barrie Colts on Thursday. Kerins' Soo Greyhounds teammate Tye Kartye was also in the running after recording eight points including four goals and four assists over three games last week. • 2021-22 OHL Players of the Week – Regular Season: • Oct. 18 – Oct. 24: Rory Kerins (Soo Greyhounds) • Oct. 11 – Oct. 17: Calum Ritchie (Oshawa Generals) • Oct. 4 – Oct. 10: Jack Thompson (Sudbury Wolves) • Breaking news, scores, stats highlights: https://ontariohockeyleague.com • Follow the OHL on Social Media! • Twitter: / ohlhockey • Facebook: / ohlhockey • Instagram: / ohlofficial • #OHL #OntarioHockeyLeague #JuniorHockey #OHLHockey #NHLDraft
