In his first WHL season in 2020-21, Kevin Korchinski suited up for 23 games with the Seattle Thunderbirds and tallied a respectable 10 points (all assists) by season’s end. Fast forward just one year later and Korchinski ended up with the 61 assists — the most for a rookie since Pavel Brendl produced the same amount in 1998-99 — racking up an impressive near point-per-game performance with 65 points (4G, 61A) in 67 games.
He played a big part in getting the Thunderbirds to the playoffs. The post-season hasn’t slowed Korchinski down one bit; as of this writing, he’s managed to maintain the same pace with 14 points (5G, 9A) in the 15 games played so far.
