Early life

McCann was born on May 31, 1996, in Stratford, Ontario,[1] to construction company owners Erin and Matt McCann.[2] He grew up with two older siblings, Justin and Jaimie, and an older half-brother named Jordan. Justin was adopted from Guatemala out of fears that pregnancy would exacerbate the symptoms of Erin's multiple sclerosis.[3] The cold temperatures in Stratford meant that McCann spent his childhood playing ice hockey outside on frozen ponds.[2] His favorite National Hockey League (NHL) team growing up was the Los Angeles Kings, because he "liked the colours and the name of the team".[4] He played minor ice hockey with the London Jr. Knights of the Alliance Hockey league before joining the London Nationals of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League at the end of the 2011–12 season.[5]

Playing career

Junior

The Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) selected McCann fourth overall in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection.[6] In 64 games with his junior ice hockey team during the 2012–13 season, McCann scored 21 goals and recorded 23 assists.[7] He and Sergey Tolchinsky were named co-recipients of the Greyhounds' 2013 Rookie of the Year Award,[8] and McCann was also named to the OHL's Second All-Rookie Team.[9] In Game 1 of that year's OHL playoffs, McCann was checked by Cameron Brace of the Owen Sound Attack. He was assisted off the ice and taken to the hospital in an ambulance, with worries about a neck injury or possible concussion.[10] He was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion and severe case of whiplash, which kept him out of the lineup indefinitely, and Brace was given a five-game suspension for the play.[11] The Greyhounds lost their series against the Attack in six games, with McCann unable to rejoin the team before their elimination.[10]

McCann was also selected as a member of Team Ontario for the 2013 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. Following the 2012–13 season, McCann was named to Team Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 team[12] and he competed at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament to win the gold medal with Team Canada.[13]

McCann was a top 2014 NHL Entry Draft prospect.[14] After his selection by the Canucks (24th overall), he was signed to a three-year entry-level contract on July 24, 2014.[15]

Professional

Vancouver Canucks (2015–2016)

Following an impressive training camp, McCann was named to the Canucks' roster for the start of the 2015–16 season on October 5, 2015.[16] He made his NHL debut on October 7, 2015 against the Calgary Flames. The following game, on October 10, he scored his first NHL goal against Jonas Hiller of the Calgary Flames in a 3–2 OT loss. He scored the first goal of the night. Alternate captain Daniel Sedin called it "a world-class shot."[17][18] On November 1, 2015 the Canucks announced that McCann and fellow rookie Jake Virtanen would remain in the NHL beyond their nine-game tryout period.[19]

His first career assist came on a Jannik Hansen goal, on November 4, 2015, in a 3–2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.[20]

Florida Panthers (2016–2019)

On May 25, 2016, the Canucks traded him with a second and a fourth round pick in 2016 NHL Entry Draft to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Erik Gudbranson and a 2016 fifth-round pick.[21]

McCann started the 2017–18 season with the Panthers with two goals and five points in his first seven games, playing in a bottom-six role.[22]

On October 25, 2017 McCann was placed on Injury Reserve due to a lower body injury he received in a game against the Washington Capitals, on October 21, in which he recorded his fifth point for the 2017–18 season.[23][24] McCann returned to action on November 4,[25] in a 5–4 loss to the New York Rangers.[26]

Pittsburgh Penguins (2019–2021)

On February 1, 2019, McCann was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Nick Bjugstad in exchange for Derick Brassard, Riley Sheahan, a second- and fourth-round pick in 2019 and Minnesota's fourth-round pick in 2019.[27]

On September 18, 2020, McCann signed a two-year, $5.88 million contract to remain with the Penguins. [28]

On July 17, 2021, McCann was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Filip Hållander and a 7th-round pick.[29]

Seattle Kraken (2021–present)
