Ethan Werek (born June 7, 1991) is a Canadian ice hockey player currently under contract with the Texas Stars in the American Hockey League (AHL). He was selected by the New York Rangers in the 2nd round (47th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Werek was the first-round pick of the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection. Initially, Werek told the team that he would not report, opting instead to keep his NCAA eligibility as he had verbally committed to playing for Boston University. After a successful season of tier II hockey with the Stouffville Spirit of the OPJHL during the 2007–08 season, in which he was the league rookie of the year after scoring 29 goals and 70 points in 37 games with the Spirit, Werek finally decided to sign with Kingston in September 2008.
Werek played his first OHL game on September 18, 2008, as he was held pointless in a 4–1 loss to the Peterborough Petes. In his next game, on September 26, 2008, Werek scored his first career OHL goal, against J.P. Anderson of the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors in a 6–4 loss. Overall, Werek finished tied for first on the club with 32 goals, and finished second on the club with 64 points while appearing in 66 games for Kingston.
Werek returned to the Frontenacs for the 2009–10 OHL season, scoring 30 goals and 64 points in 57 games, helping the club reach the playoffs. In six playoff games, Werek scored three goals and five points, as the Frontenacs lost to the Brampton Battalion in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals.
Werek played a third season in Kingston during the 2010–11 season, playing in 47 games, scoring 24 goals and 52 points for the Frontenacs. In the playoffs, Werek appeared in three games, earning three assists, as the club lost to the Oshawa Generals in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals.
