Shane Prince (born November 16, 1992) is an American professional ice hockey forward who is currently a member of the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the second round (61st overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He was traded to the Islanders in February 2016.
Playing career
Junior
Prince was raised in Spencerport, New York[1] and played for the Syracuse Stars minor hockey program.[2] Prince was selected by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League in the 2008 OHL draft. Prince joined the Rangers for the 2008-09 season at age 15, as the league's youngest player.
On January 8, 2010, midway through his second OHL season, Prince was acquired by the Ottawa 67's in exchange for a third-round draft pick. In his third season, Prince became one of the OHL's top offensive players. Prince was selected to the CHL Top Prospects game played at the Air Canada Centre and scored the lone goal for Team Cherry.[3] In April 2011, NHL Central Scouting ranked Prince 26th among North American forwards and defencemen in its annual final rankings for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Professional
Prince was selected in the second round, 61st overall, by the Ottawa Senators. The pick Ottawa used to select Prince was obtained from the Boston Bruins in the Chris Kelly trade. Playing with the Binghamton Senators he scored his first professional goal against the Rochester Americans on November 17, 2012. He deflected a shot from teammate Tyler Eckford past Americans' goaltender David Leggio.
Prince made his NHL debut with the Senators on February 16, 2015, against the Carolina Hurricanes, after recording 18 goals and 38 points in 47 games with Binghamton. He registered an assist in the game. [4] He played one further game with Ottawa and was then returned to Binghamton.
Having started the 2015–16 season with the Ottawa Senators, he scored his first NHL goal on November 25 against the Colorado Avalanche and finished the game with two goals and one assist. However he struggled offensively and being unable to establish himself on the Senators' regular roster, he was scratched for a number of games and traded at the NHL trade deadline to New York Islanders in exchange for a third round pick in the 2016 draft on February 29, 2016.[5]
