He helped the Huskies win the Memorial Cup in 2019, scoring five goals in the tournament.

A right-winger, he established career-highs with 34 goals and 80 points in 62 games with the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit this season. In 302 career games over five seasons with the Sprirt, Coskey had 106 goals and 235 points.

Jenkins, 19, was a fifth-round pick by the Islanders in 2018. A teammate of Coskey’s, he had 16 goals and 40 points in 47 OHL games this season. A forward who can play centre or left wing, he had 59 goals and 159 points over three seasons with the Spirit.
