Let’s take a look at a Hurricanes prospect who’s really made a name for himself, with a stellar season unfolding in Charlotte.

One quick look at his hockey history will tell you one glaringly obvious fact about Steven Lorentz: he’s no stranger to being overlooked. He was the 226th pick in the 12th round of the OHL draft as a 16-year-old. He was a 7th (and final) round draft pick by the Hurricanes in 2015.

He’s been overlooked his entire career. But one thing that he’s proven is – you can’t overlook his talent forever. He has persevered over doubt at every level of his pro career, and now, the 23-year old Lorentz, who hails from Waterloo, Ontario, could be destined for the greatest league in the world.

Starting with his nearly impossible journey from his junior year to where he is today, on the front step of the NHL’s door, sit back and enjoy a deep-dive into the career and story of Steven Lorentz, who’s a kid you’ll love to cheer for when his time comes.
