How acquired: Selected with No. 29 pick in 2024 NHL Draft<\/p>\n
2025-26 season: Texas (AHL): 5 GP, 0-0-0; Barrie (OHL): 46 GP, 26-37-63<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old got a taste of the American Hockey League with Texas after finishing his second season in the Ontario Hockey League. Hemming (6-foot-2, 211 pounds) also had 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists) in 21 OHL playoff games for Barrie, which advanced to the championship before losing to Kitchener in four games.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had a good year. He really took off in the second half and in the playoffs he was outstanding,\u201d Stars assistant general manager\/player personnel Rich Peverley said. \u201cHe has all the physical tools.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never know where kids could be in their development — it depends on how their summers go, how strong they are. It\u2019s a big learning curve to go from junior straight to the NHL. Most kids need time in the American league, and he\u2019s a player who can benefit from that.\u201d<\/p>\n
