Ryan O'Rourke Facts

Player Type: PK SpecialistTwo-Way Defenseman
Drafted: 2020 round 2 #39 overall by Minnesota Wild

On the puck, O'Rourke is mean, nasty, violent -- everything one wants from a durable, robust stay-at-home defender. His battle-level is unbelievably high. He never takes a moment off, never mind a shift, and much less an entire game. O'Rourke is a capable puck-mover, too. He consistently makes good decisions with the puck and boasts an absolutely lethal slap shot. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
