Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox ice hockey player Bobby McMann (born June 15, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

While playing for the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), McMann committed to Colgate University to play with the university's Raiders hockey club at the age of 20. In his final year with the Pontiacs, McMann was the recipient of the Pipeline AJHL Scholarship Award, awarded for 'leadership, sportsmanship, dedication and citizenship' to one member of each AJHL squad for use towards post-secondary education.[1] Although first eligible to be drafted in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft while with the Raiders, McMann was never selected in an NHL draft.[2][3]

McMann played four seasons with the Raiders, serving as alternate captain for his penultimate season and captain of the team during his final year, during which he was also nominated for the Hobey Baker Award.[4] At the conclusion of his college career, McMann signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL).[5]

Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, McMann's first professional season was split across the AHL and ECHL's Wichita Thunder, considered to be a level below the AHL. With the Thunder, McMann record 17 points in 18 games, while producing a modest 4 points in 21 games with the Marlies in a limited bottom-six forward role. In his sophomore season, at the age of 25, established himself as a top-six forward in the Marlies lineup, appearing with the club for most of the 2021–22 season and earning a spot on the team's top power play unit.[5] McMann would finish the season with 24 goals, establishing a new franchise record for most goals in a season by a rookie, surpassing Josh Leivo who recorded 23.Шаблон:Efn[6][7] McMann was in a race with teammate and fellow rookie Alex Steeves for the second half of the season for the franchise rookie scoring title; Steeves would finish the campaign with 23.[6] In reward for his play, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Marlies' parent club and NHL affiliate, signed McMann to a two-year, entry level contract worth slightly over league minimum.[7]

The following season, McMann continued his strong play. After recording six points in three games to be named the AHL's Player of the Week for January 8, 2023 (for a collective season total of 15 points in 17 games played), McMann was recalled by the Maple Leafs on January 10, after placing defenceman T.J. Brodie on injury reserve.[8] The following day, after Maple Leafs star centre Auston Matthews was held from the lineup from injury, McMann made his NHL debut in a contest against the Nashville Predators; in the process, he became the first Maple Leafs player to wear number 74.[9] After eight games with the Maple Leafs, McMann was returned to the Marlies; he recorded one disallowed goal in his NHL stint in a depth role with the team's fourth line.[10][11]

McMann missed the 2023 Maple Leafs training camp due to a lingering knee injury. He was placed on waivers and after going unclaimed, assigned to the Marlies to start the 2023–24 season.[12] He was recalled by the Maple Leafs on November 11, and made his NHL season debut against the Vancouver Canucks, registering two assists in the game.[13][14] On December 16, 2023 McMann scored his first career NHL goal against Tristan Jarry in a 7–0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.[15]

Personal life

McMann began skating at the age of two.[5] While at Colgate University, McMann majored in economics and minored in theater.[4] As a student athlete, McMann was a four time ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team honouree.Шаблон:Citation needed
