Carson Rehkopf (born January 7, 2005) is a Canadian junior ice hockey forward for the Brampton Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and is under contract to the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). Rehkopf was selected by the Kraken in the second round, 50th overall, of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Rehkopf played minor hockey with the Toronto Jr. Canadiens of the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL).[1] He was selected in the first round, 17th overall, in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection by the Kitchener Rangers.[2]

As a 16-year-old rookie during the 2021–22 season, Rehkopf scored 22 goals for the Rangers in 77 games.[3] He jumped to hitting the 30-goal mark and tallying 59 points in the 2022–23 regular season, which was an important milestone given it was his NHL draft year.[4] Rehkopf was then drafted 50th overall by the Seattle Kraken in the 2023 NHL entry draft.[5]

On April 21, 2024, Rehkopf was signed to an entry-level contract by the Kraken.[6]
