Drury was born in New York City while his father, Ted, was playing for the New York Islanders. His family relocated to Wilmette, Illinois and then settled in Winnetka, Illinois.[2] Drury attended Loyola Academy during his first two years of high school before attending Waterloo West High School after joining the Waterloo Black Hawks.[2]

Professional

On June 24, 2018, Drury was selected by the Carolina Hurricanes with the 42nd overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

In the 2020–21 season, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting the commencement of the collegiate season, Drury opted to leave Harvard and signed a one-year deal with Swedish club, the Växjö Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). In his first professional season, Drury registered 10 goals and 30 points in 41 regular season games and was named one of three finalists for the SHL's Rookie of the Year award. He continued his impressive play in the post-season, finishing second in the league with 11 points in 14 playoff games as Växjö Lakers won the Le Mat Trophy.[4]

On July 8, 2021, Drury returned to North America in agreeing to a three-year, entry-level contract with his draft club, the Carolina Hurricanes.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

Drury's father, Ted, played for eight seasons in the National Hockey League.[2] His uncle is former professional hockey player Chris Drury, who currently serves as general manager for the New York Rangers. Drury's mother, Liz Berkery Drury, played collegiate lacrosse at Harvard and helped the Crimson win an NCAA Championship in 1990. Both of his parents were inducted into the Harvard Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.[6] Drury also has three brothers, Owen, Teddy, and Ryan, and a sister, Lilly.[7]
