Kane was born on August 2, 1991, inVancouver,British Columbia, to Perry and Sheri Kane, who named him after American boxerEvander Holyfield (he later met Holyfield at age 18).[2][3]
Kane comes from an athletic lineage; his father was an amateur boxer[4] and hockey player, while Kane's mother was a college volleyball player.[2] His uncle, Leonard Kane, is a member of the Canadian Ball Hockey Hall of Fame.[5] Kane's cousin,Dwayne Provo, played in theCanadian Football League (CFL) for seven years and spent one season with theNew England Patriots of theNational Football League (NFL).[6] Another cousin,Kirk Johnson, boxed for Canada at the1992 Summer Olympics inBarcelona and later foughtJohn Ruiz for the 2002World Boxing Association (WBA)Heavyweight title.[6]
Growing up inEast Vancouver, Kane attended high school atJohn Oliver Secondary.[7] In addition to hockey, he playedbaseball,basketball, andsoccer growing up.[6] After beginning to skate at the age of three, he began playingminor ice hockey at eight. His father instructed him in his early years and initially wanted to keep him out of organized hockey until Kane was ten.[8] Kane played in the 2003 and 2004Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a team fromNorth Vancouver.[9] At the age of 14, Kane recorded 140 points in 66 games with the bantam North Shore Winter Club,[10] followed by a 22-goal, 54-point campaign to finish fourth in league scoring with the Greater Vancouver Canadians of theBC Hockey Major Midget League (BCMML).[11] Kane also played minor hockey with the Vancouver Giants, prior to bantam and midget.[7]
Kane was drafted 19th overall in the2006 WHL Bantam Draft by theVancouver Giants.[10] He received his first WHL call-up for a game against theSeattle Thunderbirds on December 13, 2006, due to other Giants players international commitments in theWorld Junior Championships.[10] Kane scored his first WHL goal, a game-tying marker, on March 25, 2007, the last game of the regular season.[12] He also suited up for five WHL postseason games, being originally called up for the playoffs after Giants forward Tim Kraus was suspended for game three of the opening round.[12] He later appeared in two Memorial Cup games, tallying an assist,[13] as part of the Giants'2007 Memorial Cup championship.[14]
Set to begin his rookie campaign with the Giants the following season, Kane experienced a minor setback, as he was forced to miss the start of training camp with a case ofmononucleosis.[15] He nevertheless recovered and joined the Giants full-time to tally 24 goals – third in team scoring –[16] and 41 points in his first WHL season. Finishing tenth in rookie scoring, he was nominated for theJim Piggott Memorial Trophy as WHL rookie of the year, which was awarded toBrayden Schenn of theBrandon Wheat Kings.[14]
Kane emerged with an impressive start to the2008–09 season, registering at least a point in each of his first 22 games.[17] After recording his first WHLhat-trick on October 10, 2008, against theKelowna Rockets, he was named WHL Player of the Week on October 12, succeeding line-mateCasey Pierro-Zabotel, who had been chosen the previous week.[18] Kane earned a spot as an injury replacement at the2009 World Junior Championships withTeam Canada. Upon returning with a gold medal, Kane was named player of the week for the second time in the season on January 12, 2009, after scoring six points in two games immediately following the World Juniors.[19] Later that month, he participated in the 2009CHL Top Prospects Game[20] ascaptain for Team Cherry.[13]
Kane finished his second WHL season with 48 goals and 96 points, fourth in league scoring.[21] He surpassedAdam Courchaine's team record of 43 goals in a single season, set in2002–03.[22] Second in team scoring to Pierro-Zabotel's 115 points, the line-mates finished one-two in all-time Giants' single-season scoring as Pierro-Zabotel and Kane both surpassedGilbert Brulé's previous 87-point mark.[23] Kane received WHL West First Team All-Star honors along with teammates Pierro-Zabotel andJonathon Blum.[24] In the subsequent 2009 playoffs, after the Giants swept thePrince George Cougars in the first round, Kane scored a double-overtimegame-winner to force a seventh game in the second round against theSpokane Chiefs.[25] After eliminating the Chiefs in the seventh game, the Giants were then defeated by the Kelowna Rockets in six games in the semi-finals. In 17 postseason games, Kane accumulated 15 points.
Kane was selected fourth overall by theAtlanta Thrashers. Less than a month later, the Thrashers signed Kane to an entry-level contract on July 20, 2009.[26]
Kane made the Thrashers' lineup out of his first NHL training camp for the2009–10 season. He recorded his first career NHL point in his debut on October 3, 2009, earning an assist on a goal byRich Peverley against theTampa Bay Lightning.[27] His first goal was scored five days later, on October 8, beatingChris Mason with a snap shot in a 4–2 win over theSt. Louis Blues.[28] He suffered a bone fracture, late in his rookie season, blocking a shot during a game against theTampa Bay Lightning on March 6, 2010.[29] Kane missed 15 games before returning to the lineup on April 3.[30] Kane finished his NHL rookie campaign with 14 goals and 26 points in 66 games, ranked 12th among first-year point-scorers.[31]
Kane suffered several minor injuries during his second NHL season in2010–11 season. During a game against theColorado Avalanche on November 30, 2010, Kane suffered a left knee injury after he was struck by a shot from teammateTobias Enström;[32] he missed two games.[30] The following month, he missed one game due to an arm injury,[30] sustained during a game against thePittsburgh Penguins on December 7.[33] In January 2011, he missed an additional six games due to a lower-body injury.[30] Kept from the lineup for a total nine games, Kane increased his points total to 43 with 19 goals and 24 assists. He ranked fifth in team point-scoring – third among forward behind captainAndrew Ladd andBryan Little.[34]
During the offseason, the Thrashers were bought and relocated byTrue North Sports and Entertainment, becoming thenewWinnipeg Jets. Kane was enjoying a successful first season as a Jet, leading his team in scoring with 18 goals and 31 points by mid-January 2012. During that month, however, he was sidelined with aconcussion that was reported on January 21. Later in the season, he recorded a four-point game (two goals and two assists) in a 7–0 win against theFlorida Panthers on March 1, 2012.[35] On September 15, 2012, Kane signed a six-year, $31.5 million contract extension with the Jets.[36]
As a result of the2012–13 NHL lockout, Kane joinedDinamo Minsk of theKontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was the first Canadian NHL player to sign a contract with the KHL.[37] However, after 12 games with the club, in which he recorded one goal, Kane was released. The club's athletic director suggested that Kane "could not adapt to hockey in the KHL", but also said that both sides mutually agreed to end the contract.[38]
On April 3, 2014, Kane was accused of assault, after an incident in Vancouver; he was later sued for financial damages.[39] On April 5, 2014, Kane was a healthy scratch under new head coach Paul Maurice, in a game against theToronto Maple Leafs.[40] After the game, Maurice said it was a coach's decision, and that if Kane wanted back in the lineup, all he needed to do was "probably just come to the rink." On February 3, 2015, Kane was a healthy scratch against theVancouver Canucks. It was later determined that he was scratched because of an incident with his teammates.[40] Kane revealed in an October 2015 interview that he felt the Jets did not "have his back" throughout his legal and behavioral issues[41] but instead felt that they traded away their problem.

The Jets traded Kane on February 11, 2015, as well asZach Bogosian and the rights toJason Kasdorf, to theBuffalo Sabres in exchange forTyler Myers,Drew Stafford,Joel Armia,Brendan Lemieux, and a conditional first-round pick in the2015 NHL Entry Draft (Jack Roslovic).[42] On October 14, 2016, Kane cracked three ribs in the season-opening game when he crashed into boards while fighting for the puck withAlexei Emelin of theMontreal Canadiens, which left him unable to play indefinitely.[43]
Amid declining performance and approaching the end of his contract, Sabres management benched him ahead of the 2018 trade deadline.[44] On February 26, 2018, the Sabres traded Kane to theSan Jose Sharks in exchange forDanny O'Regan, a conditional first-round or second-round pick in2019, and a conditional fourth-round pick in2020.[45] In his Sharks debut, Kane had two assists in a 5–2 win against theEdmonton Oilers.[46] On March 16, 2018, Kane scored his first NHL hat-trick against theCalgary Flames, and then later added a fourth goal, contributing more than half the goals in the Sharks 7–4 win.[47] Kane played 78 games and scored 54 points in his time with Buffalo and San Jose in the 2017-18 season. The 78 games played is the most in a season for Kane. The 54 points was the second-highest season total in Kane's career to that point.
On April 26, 2018, Kane received a one-game suspension for cross-checkingVegas Golden Knights forwardPierre-Edouard Bellemare during Game 1 of the Western Conference semi-finals.[48] Through nine playoffs games, Kane recorded four goals and five points. On May 24, 2018, the Sharks re-signed Kane to a seven-year, $49 million contract worth $7 million annually.[49] Kane has said that he would like to remain with the Sharks for the rest of his career.[50]
During the2018–19 season, Kane totaled 56 points (the second-highest point total of his career) and led the NHL in penalty minutes with 153.[51]
During the2019–20 preseason, Kane was suspended for the first three games of the regular season due to abusing officials.[52] Two games after returning from his suspension, Kane became the first Sharks player in franchise history to record a first period hat trick in a 5–2 win over theCarolina Hurricanes.[53] Kane recorded another natural hat trick later that season when the Sharks visited theWashington Capitals on January 5, 2020, scoring three straight goals in just over 10 minutes during the second period in a 5–4 overtime loss.[54] After an elbowing hit in a game against theWinnipeg Jets on February 14, 2020, Kane was suspended for three games.[55] Kane repeated as league leader in penalty minutes with 122 while registering 26 goals and 47 points, marking his fifth consecutive season with at least 20 goals.[56]
On October 18, 2021, Kane was suspended by the NHL for the opening 21 games of the2021–22 season for "violation of, and lack of compliance with, the NHL/NHLPA COVID-19 protocols".[57] On November 28, 2021, following the completion of his suspension, the Sharks placed Kane on waivers and was re-assigned toAHL for the first time in his career, joining theSan Jose Barracuda the following day.[58]
On January 8, 2022, it was announced that the Sharks had placed Kane on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, due to violation of AHL COVID-19 protocols.[59]
Shortly after news of San Jose's effort to terminate Kane's contract broke, reports began to circulate that theEdmonton Oilers were interested in signing Kane. The Oilers had begun the season strongly, but entered a prolonged slide that had seen them drop out of playoff position by the midpoint, and pressure had built on general managerKen Holland to take action to improve the team's fortunes. The addition of Kane, a proficient goal-scorer, was seen as a potential answer.[60][61] On January 27, 2022, Kane signed a one-year contract with the Oilers.[62][63] The decision to sign Kane generated some controversy, but was defended by Oilers starConnor McDavid. McDavid said "we're a team that is looking to go on a run. If he can come in and add to that any way possible, that's what we’re looking for. He was great in acknowledging that there might be some backlash, but it's a good opportunity for both sides. For him to re-establish himself in the NHL and for us to add a player of his calibre."[64]
Kane made his Oilers debut on January 29, scoring the game's opening goal in a 7–2 victory over theMontreal Canadiens.[65] Through the regular season, Kane played primarily on the team's top line with McDavid andJesse Puljujärvi. Playing with McDavid helped Kane record the highest shooting percentage of his career, and he was credited with improving the team's even-strength play.[66] He finished the season with 22 goals and 17 assists, while the Oilers finished second in thePacific Division and qualified for the2022 Stanley Cup playoffs. Kane was dynamic in the team's first round matchup with theLos Angeles Kings, notably recording his first ever playoffhat trick in Game 3.[67] He finished the series with seven goals, one more than he had scored in all prior playoff games.[68] The Oilers drew theCalgary Flames in the second round, the first playoff "Battle of Alberta" in 31 years.[69] He recorded his second playoff hat trick, this time a natural one, in six minutes during the second period of Game 3 of the second round.[70] Kane attracted controversy in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against theColorado Avalanche when he cross-checked Avalanche centreNazem Kadri into the boards, receiving a five-minute major penalty for boarding, and causing Kadri to be ruled out for the remainder of the series due to injury.[71] The NHL suspended Kane for one game as a result.[72][73]
On July 12, 2022, Kane signed a four-year, $20.5 million contract extension with the Oilers.[74] He notched 5 goals and 8 assists in the first fourteen games of the2022–23 season, before exiting a November 8 game against theTampa Bay Lightning after his wrist was cut open by the skate of Tampa forwardPatrick Maroon. Kane underwent emergency surgery, and it was subsequently reported that he would miss three to four months of the season.[75] His recovery proceeded better than initially expected, allowing him to return to the lineup for a January 17 game against theSeattle Kraken.[76]
Kane and his ex-wife have one daughter.[77] On March 14, 2019, Kane announced that his wife had a miscarriage at 26 weeks.[78] His ex-wife is Anna Kane who, in December 2024, accusedSean Combs of rape.[79]
On June 8, 2020, Kane co-founded the Hockey Diversity Alliance, alongside former playerAkim Aliu, to address intolerance and racism in hockey.[80] On January 20, 2025, Kane attended the second inauguration of PresidentDonald Trump.[81]
On July 1, 2016, Kane was sued by a 21-year-old woman who accused him of assaulting her in the hotel room where he lived. According to court documents, the woman alleged that Kane "met her in a bar, invited her to what he said was a party and then attacked her, causing cuts and bleeding that required multiple surgeries."[82]
On August 1, 2016, Kane pleaded not guilty to one count of criminal trespassing and four counts of non-criminal harassment after confrontations with four separate people at a downtownBuffalo bar in June 2016. At that time, Kane was a member of the Buffalo Sabres. According to a police report, Kane became involved in a fight with a bouncer at a bar called Bottoms Up, after allegedly grabbing an unnamed woman by the throat and attempting to force her into a car outside the nightclub. A second police report alleged that, in a separate incident, Kane grabbed a woman by the arms inside the nightclub and attempted to force her outside. Kane surrendered to Buffalo police in late July 2016. Said Sabres GMTim Murray of the incident, "Whether he has done these things or not, or he's guilty of these things or not, it's not something I like getting up in the morning and reading about, that's for sure." The incident came after another incident in February, in which Kane was suspended by the team for missing practice after attending the NBA All-Star Game in Toronto. GM Murray noted that Kane's off-ice behaviour has been very negative for both the player and the Sabres' organization. The Bottoms Up case was later adjourned and dismissed. Referred to as an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal, a case can be adjourned for more than six months and after a set period of time, the charges are dismissed if the defendant can display and maintain good behavior.[83][84]
On November 4, 2019, Kane was sued by The Cosmopolitancasino inLas Vegas after he walked out on a half-million-dollar gambling debt. The suit alleged that Kane had received $500,000 in gambling markers from the casino in April while the Sharks were in Las Vegas for a playoff series against theVegas Golden Knights. Such markers are essentiallylines of credit to allow casino guests to continue gambling, and those extended to Kane were disbursed in eight separate installments, ranging from $20,000 to $100,000. The suit claims that Kane left the casino without making arrangements to settle the debt. The casino sought full restitution plus repayment of legal fees.[85]
On January 11, 2021, Kane reportedly filed forchapter 7 bankruptcy inCalifornia after amassing $26.8 million of debt.[86]
In July 2021, Kane's estranged wife, in anInstagram post publicly accused her husband of betting on games involving his own team, and of "throwing games with bookies to win money". The NHL announced that it would investigate the allegation. Kane later published a statement offering his full cooperation and categorically denied his involvement in any hockey-related betting, suggesting that his wife's claims were motivated by distress related to their ongoing divorce process.[87] In a later interview with ESPN's Linda Cohn, he admitted that he did have a gambling addiction that led to large personal debts, for which he had sought professional help. In a January 2021 bankruptcy filing, Evander Kane listed that he owed $1.5 million in gambling debts.[88]
On September 22, 2021, the NHL released its findings into the investigation into the claims and found no evidence of game betting allegations and also stated "To the contrary, the evidence raises doubts about the veracity of the allegations."[89][90][91]
In September 2021, Kane's ex-wife filed a domestic violence restraining order application including accusations against Kane of sexual assault and domestic battery. Kane's attorney denied the allegations. In August 2021, Kane received a temporary restraining order against his ex-wife, with Kane claiming that she has physically abused him in the past, and sought a permanent restraining order. The NHL announced that it was investigating the domestic violence claims.[92][93][94][95] On October 18, 2021 the NHL ruled that the domestic violence accusations could not be substantiated.[57]
Also on the same day that Kane was cleared of gambling, the NHL revealed that it was investigating claims that Kane engaged in "inappropriate behavior potentially jeopardizing the health and safety" of his teammates. On October 5,Front Office Sports reported that the NHL was investigating claims that Kane had submitted a fakeCOVID-19 vaccine card as proof that he had been vaccinated.[96] This was subsequently corroborated byThe Associated Press,[97]The Athletic,[98] andESPN.[99] On October 18, 2021, the NHL suspended Kane for 21 games over the issue.[100] Following the suspension, Kane was placed on waivers by the Sharks, and was sent down to the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL.[101] After only five games with the Barracuda, Kane tested positive for COVID-19 and entered the AHL COVID-19 protocol. On January 8, 2022, the Sharks placed Kane on unconditional waivers with intent to terminate the contract for violating the AHL protocol as well.[102]
