Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2006-07: Killorn played 26 games at Deerfield Academy and scored 18 goals with 14 and 32 PIM and was named to the Division I West All New England Team. He committed to attending Harvard University in 2008-09.
2007-08: In his second season with Deerfield Academy High-MA, Killorn scored 28 goals with 27 assists in 24 games.
2008-09: Killorn got his college career off to a fast start, registering points in 10 of his first 12 games as a freshman for Harvard. For the season, he scored 5 of his 6 goals on the power play and had 9 assists with 42 PIM and -10 plus/minus on a Harvard team that finished tied for fifth in the ECACHL and was a disappointing 9-16-6 overall.
2009-10: Killorn was the second-leading scorer for third-leading scorer for the Crimson behind linemates Louis Leblanc (MON) and Michael Biega. He scored 9 goals with 11 assists with 3 power play goals and 26 PIM in 32 games. Killorn was limited at the end of the year due to a nagging injury and saw only spot duty in Harvard's two-game sweep of Princeton in the opening round of the playoffs and did not dress for one of the two quarterfinal games against Cornell.
2010-11: Killorn was the top goal scorer for Harvard and was second on the team with 29 points as a junior. Killorn had 15 goals with 14 assists and was +6 with 26 PMs on a Crimson team that struggled to score goals and finished tied for ninth in the 12-team ECAC Hockey League.
Talent Analysis
Killorn is a versatile player who is just beggining to scratch the surface in terms of his long range potential. Offensively gifted, he is tough to contain in the offensive zone and is consistent at creating scoring chances. Killorn is developing into a more well-rounded player in terms of playing all facets of the game. He has respectable speed and coordination complimented by a strong work ethic. Killorn is developing his awareness and anticipation skills on the defensive side of the game to match his offensive instincts. Killorn plays with a gritty, nasty side to his game and should be even more effective in this game as he adds size and strength.
Future
Killorn was one of the more impressive offensive players at the Lightning prospect camp this summer. He is headed back to Harvard for his junior season and will again be counted on to be one of the team's offensive leaders. That job may be a bit more difficult with leading-scorer Leblanc having recently signed an entry-level contract with Montreal. Long-range, Killorn projects as a second or third line forward with the versatility to play either center or wing. Killorn may be tempted to sign with the Lightning following the 2010-11 season, but is more likely to finish his college career first and then may need some time at the AHL level before being ready to play in Tampa Bay.
