Playing career
On November 25, 2020, Kemp signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Oilers and was assigned to Väsby IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan.[3][4] On March 27, 2021, following the conclusion of Väsby's season, Kemp and fellow Oilers prospect, Raphaël Lavoie, were both assigned to the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League (AHL).[5]
After playing in the AHL for the Condors for three seasons, he was re-signed by the team in May 2023 to a two-year, two-way contract.[6] He played his first NHL game on January 13, 2024, against the Montreal Canadiens.[7]
