During his OHL years, he played on a line along with future NHLers Sergei Kostitsyn and Sam Gagner.[7] He passed 145 points to be awarded the OHL scoring title and also combined with Gagner and Kostitsyn for 394 points in the season.[7] The Knights finished the post-season when they lost the OHL's Western Conference final to the Plymouth Whalers by a series best 4-1 in a 7 series loss. He finished his postseason with 10 goals and 21 assists which was a total of 31 points in 16 games.

He won the Emms Family Award for the OHL rookie of the year on April 27, 2007 and was also a runner-up for the Red Tilson Trophy as league MVP behind John Tavares.[8][9]

Kane scored the overtime game-winning goal against Michael Leighton of the Philadelphia Flyers during Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals to win the Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup in 49 years which ended the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL.[5]

He played with EHC Biel of the National League A during the 2012 NHL lockout. He also played for HC Davos during the 2012 Spengler Cup.
