Biography

BIOGRAPHY

Alex Killorn was born September 14, 1989, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is a forward in the National Hockey League.

During the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs Killorn had a successful post season run with the Tampa Bay Lightning, helping them reach the Stanley Cup Final against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Lightning ended up falling to the Blackhawks in six games. Despite the loss, Killorn had a strong post season for the team, and also posted several records for former players from Harvard. Killorn's game one goal was the first goal scored by a Harvard alum in a Stanley Cup final. Killorn added a second goal in game five to become the first alum with multiple goals or assists in the final. His 2015 postseason scoring totals (9 goals, 9 assists, 18 points) are all single-post season records among the twelve Harvard alumni who have played in the NHL postseason. Killorn's 10 goals over two post seasons is second only to Dominic Moore (11 goals) on the Harvard all-time list, which was achieved in only 30 playoff games to Moore's 88.

On October 12, 2015, Killorn recorded his 100th career NHL point in a 6-3 Lightning win over the Boston Bruins.

Killorn won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Lightning in 2020 and 2021.
