Carson Rehkopf has been on a pace this season that seems almost impossible to keep up, but he hasn't fallen off one bit. Rehkopf has become the first player to reach 50 goals in the OHL this season, and he has scored 50 goals in just 52 games. That is .96 goals per game. The Seattle Kraken 2nd round draft pick has had a phenomenal season since being drafted last June. He is the heart and soul of the Kitchener Rangers, and he has helped turned them into contenders from rebuilders this season. The Rangers have been one of the most dominant OHL teams this season, largely due to Rehkopf's performance. Rehkopf can score goals, and he can score them in bunches. Scoring 50 goals in just 52 games means that you can't take many nights off — if any. Rehkopf has not taken a single night off, and he continues to carry Kitchener's offence. Coincidentally, Rehkopf's inconsistency was one of the main reasons that he didn't go higher in the NHL draft. There's lots to like about his game, from his shot, his deceptiveness, and his 6-foot-3 frame, but he couldn't show up every night. This season, Rehkopf has flipped the tides and has been able to show up and produce on a game-to-game basis. The 2005-born prospect still has two eligible seasons left in major junior, and he is just getting started. If he is on pace for 58 goals this season, just how many is he going to put up next season? The sky is the limit for Carson Rehkopf — both at the junior level, and at the pro level. Brief Interview with Carson Rehkopf after Day 1 of World Junior Selection Camp
