Mark Jankowski (born September 13, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who currently is playing for the of the American Hockey League. He is a prospect of the National Hockey League (NHL)'s Calgary Flames, selected in the first round, 21st overall, at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He is the highest selected Canadian high school player in draft history, having played for Stanstead College for two seasons leading to the draft.
Jankowski was a top scorer at the midget AAA level, where he played for the St. Catharines Minor Midget AAA Falcons of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association's South-Central Triple A Hockey League. However, he went unselected in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) midget draft as teams were concerned that at five feet, eight inches tall, he was too small to play the top level of junior hockey. He chose to play at Stanstead College, a prep school based in Stanstead, Quebec. He played two seasons for Stanstead, scoring 31 goals and 73 points in the 2010–11 high school team's season and 53 goals and 93 points in 57 games in 2011–12. During his second season at Stanstead, Jankowski committed to play college hockey for the Providence Friars. Boston University, Cornell, Harvard, Maine, and Penn State were also interested in his services, but he decided to follow Friars coach Nate Leaman, who had previously shown interest in Jankowski while coaching Union College, to Providence.
