A crafty goal scorer who thrives in the home plate area of the offensive zone. He gets to the high-danger areas with regularity and generates offense from the slot.

February 2023 – Kerins Is having a great first year in pro hockey. He started his stint inside the AHL this season but ended up getting sent down to the ECHL. In the ECHL he has been dominant the entire year and has found his professional stride. He is playing at a point-per-game pace and has been consistent the entire year. As a sixth-round pick in 2020, a longer runway to the NHL was expected. He is equally undersized. Kerins should get a great shot next year in the AHL as he is just too skilled to be in the ECHL. Kerins has developed well and should be eager to continue from where he is now and take his momentum into the playoffs. Carson Klein
March 2022 – Kerins has been nothing short of spectacular this season as he is one of the top offensive players in the OHL. He has 101 points in 60 games so far this season and has been a great find for this Flames organization. Not too shabby for a 6th round pick in 2020. I’m sure he will continue to rise up in the Flames rankings. Chris Fekete

October 2020 – Kerins was drafted 174th overall by the Flames. Kerins is expected to spend two more years in the OHL before turning pro.  Jokke Nevalainen

September 2020 – A late-season riser, Kerins was a sneaky good goal scorer for the Soo Greyhounds. His 30-goals were impressive but the more impressive stat is that he led the OHL in even-strength shooting percentage. He gets to high-danger areas and doesn’t make mistakes when there. His shot pops off his stick and finds corners regularly. He is also a very good passer from the middle of the ice. He loves the play in traffic and works the puck to his linemates. The formula for a solid bottom-six player with a bit of skill and scoring is there and he should be able to carve a role out for himself at the pro-level. Whether he becomes an NHL goal-scorer or he fills the net in the AHL will be all up to whether Kerins puts in the work to get a bit quicker and mobile consistently. Tony Ferrari
