Fantasy Summary

Strong defensive Center with some good offensive tools who will need lots of seasoning at the collegiate level.

August 2024 – Karpa, not yet signed to an entry-level contract with the New York Rangers, will serve his second year as NCAA captain of the Harvard Crimson during the 2024-25 season. The center posted eight points in 31 games played for Harvard during the 2023-24 campaign, along with a minus-eight rating. Karpa will presumably have to break out in a major way this upcoming season to be considered in the Rangers’ future plans. Brendan Ferry

June 2023 – Karpa, has played the last two seasons for Harvard in the NCAA. The left shot Center appeared in 33 games for the Crimson in 2021-22, posting 12 points, and in 22 games during 2022-23, posting eight points. Karpa, listed at 6-2 and 185 pounds, is not listed with any team as of yet for 2023-24. He is property of the Rangers until his exclusive signing rights expire on August 15, 2025.  Brendan Ferry

August 2022 — Karpa, son of ex-NHLer and former Ranger Dave Karpa, will be entering his second season with Harvard University, after being drafted as an overage prospect.  Karpa posted six goals and six assists for 12 points in 33 games played for Harvard during the 2021-2022 season. Said to be a defensive-minded center with a high hockey IQ (he does go to Harvard, after all), time will tell if Karpa is able to follow in his Dad’s footsteps and work his way onto the Rangers in the future.  Brendan Ferry
