Ronning, a seventh-round pick (201st overall) by the parent New York Rangers in the 2016 NHL Draft, set a Vancouver Giants (WHL) franchise record with 61 goals this season, good for second-most in the league. The 20-year-old Scottsdale, Arizona native also had 23 assists, for a team-leading 84 points, in 70 games on the season.
