Jordan Charron: Rising Star in the OHL
Jordan Charron, a promising prospect from the Pittsburgh Penguins, is making headlines with a phenomenal start to the 2025-26 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) season. After being selected in the fifth round of the recent NHL Draft, Charron has quickly established himself as a key player for the Soo Greyhounds.
Impressive Performance
His 14th goal of the season came during a match on Saturday night, where he showcased his impressive skills by outpacing a defender to score during a mini breakaway, contributing to a 3-0 lead for his team.
Charron’s performance this season has been nothing short of remarkable; he has already scored 14 goals and racked up 20 points over the course of just 18 games. This achievement not only exceeds his previous year’s goal count of 10 but he is also just shy of matching last season’s total points of 21. His offensive prowess is complemented by significant improvements in his skating, as evidenced by his ability to outrun opponents on the ice, particularly highlighted by a recent shorthanded goal.
Development and Future Prospects
Back in July, Charron showcased his talent during the development camp, gaining attention for his powerful shot and consistent performance. The momentum from that camp has clearly carried over into this season, with projections indicating he could complete the year with an impressive tally of 53 goals and 76 points.
As Charron gears up for what will be his last season in the OHL before heading to St. Lawrence University in the 2026-27 season, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how far this rising star will go.
