Rangers’ Carson Rehkopf named Cogeco OHL Player of the Week

Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Seattle Kraken prospect Carson Rehkopf of the Kitchener Rangers is the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week for the second time this season, recording four goals, five assists, and nine points over three contests as the Rangers collected four points over the weekend.

Rehkopf had a strong start to the week on Monday afternoon, recording a pair of goals and an assist to earn first star honours as the Rangers defeated the Peterborough Petes 6-2. The 6-foot-1, 196lb. centreman registered a career-high six point performance on Friday, tallying a pair of goals and four assists to once again earn first star honours in a 7-3 win over the Sarnia Sting. The Rangers struggled to find the scoresheet on Sunday, closing out the weekend with a 3-0 loss to the Soo Greyhounds.

A 19-year-old from Vaughan, Ont., Rehkopf ranks first among OHL goal-scorers and third among point-producers, recording 47 goals, 37 assists, and 84 points over 50 games played this season. Seattle’s second round (50th overall) pick in the 2023 NHL Draft has recorded 176 points (95-81–176) in 183 career OHL regular season games with the Rangers after being chosen 17th overall by the club in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection.

Also considered for the award this week, Kingston Frontenacs forward Linus Hemstrom recorded nine points (4-5–9) in four games including a hat-trick on Sunday while Seattle Kraken prospect David Goyette of the Sudbury Wolves put up seven points (4-3-7) in three contests as the Wolves went 2-1.
