Early life

edit

Playing career

edit

On October 6, 2020, Jarvis was selected by the Carolina Hurricanes with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 NHL entry draft.[4] The draft choice used to select Jarvis was acquired along with Patrick Marleau and a seventh-round draft pick from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick; a trade that gave Toronto salary cap relief. On December 28, Jarvis signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Hurricanes.[5]

Jarvis eventually made his NHL debut on October 31, 2021, where he also recorded his first point.[6] On November 3, in his second NHL game, Jarvis scored his first career NHL goal against Marc-André Fleury of the Chicago Blackhawks. Jarvis ended the season with 17 goals and 23 assists for 40 points in 68 games played.[1]

On February 16, 2023, Jarvis recorded his first career hat-trick in a 6–2 victory against the Montreal Canadiens.[7]

On August 31, 2024, Jarvis signed an eight-year, $63.2 million contract extension with the Hurricanes.[8]

On November 28, 2025, during the 2025–26 season, Jarvis recorded his second career hat-trick in a 5–1 victory against his hometown team, the Winnipeg Jets.[9] By late February 2026 following the Olympic break, Jarvis had 26 goals, 19 assists and 158 shots in 50 games during the season.[10] On March 28, Jarvis reached the 30-goal mark for the third straight season during a game against the New Jersey Devils, becoming the sixth player in franchise history to achieve this alongside, Eric Staal, Blaine Stoughton, Sebastian Aho, Jeff O'Neill and Sylvain Turgeon. His is also the fourth youngest player in franchise history to reach that milestone at 24-years or younger.[11]

In December 2024, Jarvis was selected to represent Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.[13][14] He recorded an assist in his Canada debut, and would go on to win the tournament with the team.[15] Jarvis's friends drove over 30-hours from Winnipeg to watch him play in Boston for the tournament.[16]

Jarvis was not initially included on the Canadian team for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but was added to the team shortly before the tournament upon the withdrawal of Brayden Point due to injury.[17] Following his addition to the team, Jarvis's friends who had planned on visiting him during the Olympic break, were flown free of charge by Air Canada to watch him play in the Winter Olympics.[18] During the games, Jarvis had an assist on Nick Suzuki's game-tying goal during their match against Czechia.[19][20]
