Beckett Sennecke (born January 28, 2006) is a Canadian ice hockey right wing for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) as a prospect to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted third overall by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

At the 2022 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) draft, Sennecke was selected eighth overall by the Oshawa Generals. [1] He scored his first OHL goal in the first game of the 2022–23 season, a 2–1 victory over the Barrie Colts on September 29, 2022. [2]

In the 2023–24 season, Sennecke ranked third on the Generals with 27 goals and 68 points in 63 games, and led the team with 207 shots and seven game-winning goals. In the playoffs, he added 10 goals and 22 points as the Generals made a run to the OHL finals. He did not play in the finals, however, due to an injury sustained in game six of the conference finals against the North Bay Battalion. [3]

Over the course of the season, Sennecke was one of the biggest risers in rankings for the 2024 NHL entry draft. Initially seen as a late first-round pick, the consensus by May was that he would be taken in the top 20, with some viewing him among the top 10 eligible players. [4] His rise was partly due to a growth spurt that saw him grow five inches (13 cm) in two years from 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) as an OHL rookie to nearly 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) in June 2024. [5] He would ultimately be taken third overall by the Anaheim Ducks. Aware that he was not viewed as a top-tier prospect in the draft class and not having talked with the Ducks organization since the draft combine three weeks earlier, Sennecke was visibly shocked at the pick. [6] He signed an entry-level contract with the Ducks on July 5. [7]

International play

Sennecke represented Team Canada White at the 2022 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, recording three assists in five games and finishing in sixth of seven teams. [8]

Personal life

Sennecke is the son of television personality Candice Olson. [9]
