Terrance started his junior hockey career with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League in the 2021–22 OHL season, where scored 10 goals and had 14 assists in 62 games.[1] The following season saw he increase his scoring to 30 goals and 17 assists in 67 games.[1] In the 2023–24 OHL season, he scored 29 goals with 23 assists.[1] He was named the Otters' captain for the 2024–25 season, in which he scored 20 goals with 19 assists in 45 games.[1][2][3] He missed the last 2 months of the season after a serious injury he suffered crashing into the boards.[4][5][6]
Terrance was drafted 59th overall by the Ducks in the 2nd round of the 2023 draft.[7][4] He signed an entry-level contract with the Ducks in April 2025.[4][8] In June 2025, Terrance was traded to the New York Rangers along with a 2025 third-round pick in exchange for Chris Kreider and a 2025 fourth-round pick.[6]
It’s an awesome feeling. I got a chance to go home for a few days after the tournament and just kind of take it all in. It was a really special three weeks, and I’m happy that the team got it done. Obviously, it was a crazy tournament, and there’s even more hype around the tournament when it’s in North America and especially when it’s in Canada, so it’s very special to win in Canada and win two gold medals in a row for the first time.[9]
Playing style
Terrance's primary assets are his speed and skating ability.[5][10] He has also been praised for his willingness to compete for loose pucks and take hits to make plays.[10] Prior to the trade with the Rangers, Ducks' director of player development Jim Johnson praised Terrance's speed and energy and noted that his "defensive game has matured" but he needs to develop more "offensive consistency and physical strength".[5] Johnson also praised the way Terrance uses his speed to forecheck the opposition.[7]
Terrance said of his play during the 2024–25 season with Erie "I think my defensive game has developed and it's very consistent every game. But I just think I haven't really got things clicking consistently offensively. Had kind of a slow start, kind of picked it up, but just want to find that more offensive consistency in my game."[7]
Personal life
Terrance is a member of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and was born in Akwesasne, New York.[11][5] He became the 9th player of Mohawk descent to be drafted into the NHL.[5] He received an award from the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne in recognition of his international achievements and representation of their community.[5][12]
