The SMJHL was the first time Kane actually played an organized league of hockey let alone professional. it was a massive learning curve for him. Luckily the Colorado Raptors took a chance on him in the 2nd round and were a massive help in developing his game on and off the ice. They helped him with learning how to properly prepare for games through dieting, workouts, and practices. The leadership throughout the organization from players, alumni, and management were outstanding and always available. Kane became a leader within the team and was voted Captain numerous times and decided to bow out of the vote his last season to pass the torch along. Due to the developmental system that the Raptors have Kane became a stellar player in the SMHL and received awards from the league and is going down as one of the more decorated Raptor from team awards. His draft sock skyrocketed and he was selected 3rd overall by the San Francisco Pride.
