Brock McGinn Ready To Join Brothers In NHL

Brock McGinn has a few advantages over the other Canes prospects at development camp.
 
McGinn has two older brothers in the NHL, so he's well-versed in all that it takes to reach the highest level of pro hockey. He also plays for the Guelph Storm of the OHL under coach Scott Walker, a former Canes forward, and is well-educated about the Hurricanes organization and what's expected of the players in it.

McGinn, a second-round draft pick last year, also appears to be the kind of forward and player Canes coach Kirk Muller likes and wants -- tough, always looking to hit people, playing bigger than his size. Muller likened McGinn, who's 5-11 and 186 pounds, to Mike Keane, a former teammate in Montreal and Dallas and a three-time Stanley Cup winner.

 

McGinn must either make the Canes' NHL roster this year or be sent back to Guelph for a fourth season of OHL hockey. Last season, he had 28 goals, 26 assists and 71 penalty minutes in 68 games, with a plus-7 rating, then four points (2 goals, 2 assists) in three playoff games.

 

As for those hockey bloodlines, Jamie McGinn is a forward with the Colorado Avalanche and Tye McGinn a forward with the Philadelphia Flyers. Brock McGinn hopes to make it a threesome in the NHL one day but realizes there's much work still to be done and that he has to try and stay patient.

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
