Berkly Catton (born January 14, 2006) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected eighth overall by the Kraken in the 2024 NHL entry draft.
Playing career
In the years leading up to his junior career, Catton appeared for various AA and AAA teams in his hometown of Saskatoon, and for one season attended Shattuck-Saint Mary's, where he played at the 16U AAA level.
Catton was selected first overall by the Spokane Chiefs in the 2021 Western Hockey League (WHL) bantam draft. Although he considered playing college ice hockey, he ultimately chose the WHL. In his first full WHL season, the 2022–23 season, he scored 23 goals and 55 points in 63 games. Finishing tied for fifth in rookie scoring and first among 2006-born players, Catton would be nominated for the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy for the WHL's top rookie, which would ultimately go to Ryder Ritchie.
As one of the top draft-eligible prospects in the Canadian Hockey League, Catton was selected to compete in the 2024 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, where he and Sam Dickinson were named captains of the two teams. On March 5, 2024, Catton surpassed the 100-point mark for the season and recorded his first WHL hat-trick with a career-high five points in a 6–3 win over the Victoria Royals. He finished the season with 54 goals and 116 points, good for fourth in the league in points and top-five in goals, and led the league with seven shorthanded goals. His 1.71 points per game led all draft-eligible CHL players. In four playoff games, he would record four assists. Catton was named to the CHL's Second All-Star Team for the year.
Catton returned to the WHL for the 2024–25 season, and was named team captain. He finished third in scoring in the regular season with 38 goals and 71 assists in 57 games. He incurred only 30 penalty minutes, a career low, and received the Brad Hornung Trophy as the WHL's most sportsmanlike player. He was also a finalist for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy, the award for the league's most valuable player. He led the Chiefs on a deep playoff run to the WHL Finals, where they were defeated by the Medicine Hat Tigers. Following the conclusion of the postseason, he was named CHL Sportsman of the Year, and received his second consecutive Second All-Star Team designation.
