Owen Beck (ice hockey)

[1][2] As a youth, Beck played with the Northumberland Nighthawks of the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) and won the league championship during his peewee year.

[3] Thereafter, he joined the Quinte Red Devils AAA ranks for two seasons beginning in 2018,[4] and also briefly played with the Cobourg Cougars of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL).

[5] Beck initially committed to join the Mississauga Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for the 2020–21 season[6] but did not play due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.

[12][13][14] Returning to major junior to continue development with the Steelheads for the 2022–23 season, Beck recorded 17 goals and 41 points in just 30 games before being traded to hometown club, the Peterborough Petes, on January 7, 2023.

[19] Beck's point production declined during his first half-season with the Petes, which was attributed to both personal usage in a defense-oriented shutdown role as well as own struggles with the team's new expectations generated by the trade.

"[20] Beck finished the regular season with seven goals and 18 assists in 30 games with the Petes, before attracting praise for his performance during the foregoing's deep run during the OHL playoffs.

[26] Beck recorded a primary assist on the Petes' overtime-winning goal against the Blazers to reach the tournament semi-final[27] where they were ultimately eliminated by the Thunderbirds.

[29] Making his Spirit debut on January 10, 2024, he had two goals and four assists in a rout of the Windsor Spitfires, tying the Saginaw team record for most points in a single game.

[32] Being one of two Spirit players to have participated in a previous Memorial Cup (alongside Jorian Donovan), he said that "to be in this tournament two years in a row is pretty special.
