April 2024 – Kearsey has stepped up as the primary offensive threat on the back end for the Charlottetown Islanders. Although he isn’t the biggest guy on the ice (5’11, 172 lbs), Kearsey is an excellent skater and has learned how to be an effective transporter of the puck. He effortlessly transitions out of danger in the defensive zone and gains a lot of speed through the neutral zone, making zone entries part of his strengths. Due to his mobility, he is able to quarterback a power play in the QMJHL but projects as a bottom-2 pairing, puck moving defenseman at the pro ranks. He needs to clean up his defensive positioning and learn how to leverage his body more against bigger players but there is a bright future ahead for a team looking to add depth to their back end.
