Vincent Iorio

Iorio was born on November 14, 2002, in Coquitlam, British Columbia, to parents Mario and Jennifer. He grew up alongside his younger sister Olivia. Although he first played soccer, Iorio started playing ice hockey at around six years old. He began as a forward but was soon shifted to defence due to his ability to make plays with the puck. While growing up in Coquitlam, Iorio spent one season with the Burnaby Winter Club before enrolling at Shattuck-Saint Mary's in Minnesota for his bantam seasons. As he was expected to enrol in an American university following bantam, few Western Hockey League (WHL) teams were interested in drafting him. He was eventually selected in the second round, 27th overall, by the Brandon Wheat Kings in the 2017 WHL bantam draft. Iorio was also selected to represent Team British Columbia at the 2017 WHL Cup in Calgary.
