He spent the entirety of his major junior career with the 67's, with his best season coming during the 2006–07 season, in which he led the team with 46 goals and 89 points.

San Jose Sharks
After his 2006–07 OHL season, McGinn was signed to an entry-level deal by the Sharks. He appeared in four regular season games and six playoff games for their American Hockey League affiliate, the Worcester Sharks.
McGinn made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut on October 28, 2008, against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He scored his first NHL goal on October 30, 2008 against the Detroit Red Wings in only his second career NHL game.[2]
On June 30, 2011, McGinn re-signed to a one-year, $680,000 contract with the Sharks. In the 2011–12 season, McGinn enjoyed a break-out season scoring 12 goals and 24 points in 61 games.
Colorado Avalanche
In the midst of his break-out season, McGinn was traded at the trade deadline on February 27, 2012, to the Colorado Avalanche, along with prospects Mike Connolly and Michael Sgarbossa in exchange for Daniel Winnik, T.J. Galiardi and a seventh round selection.[3] As a restricted free agent, McGinn filed for arbitration in the summer of 2012, but on July 13 McGinn signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Avalanche.[4]
“ | My first NHL shift. I told my linemate at the time I just got called up, playing Pittsburgh Penguins, and my linemate was Jody Shelley at the time. I was playing fourth line. He was like, ‘You nervous, kid?' And I was like, ‘Yeah, I'm pretty nervous. I wouldn't mind having a quick shift.' He's like, ‘OK.' So we lined up for the draw, and he dropped the gloves with someone right away. So my first NHL shift was one second long. So he came back and was like, ‘Is that short enough for you? | ” |
— With training camp and the preseason well underway, McGinn talked with azcentral about the upcoming season and, among other things, his career highlight, which happened to be his first NHL shift which lasted one second.[5] |
On June 19, 2014, McGinn agreed to another two-year contract extension with the Avalanche.[6] McGinn would miss the Avalanche's entire training camp and pre-season for the 2014–15 season, due to his recurrent back injury. He was able to return to the team to begin the season, however after 19 games McGinn was ruled out for the remainder of the season to undergo back surgery after re-injuring his troublesome back in game against the New Jersey Devils on November 15, 2014.[7]
Buffalo Sabres
At the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, the Avalanche traded McGinn, alongside Ryan O'Reilly, to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, prospect J. T. Compher, and the 31st pick in the draft on June 26, 2015.[8] McGinn successfully returned from back surgery, and recorded 14 goals and 27 points in 63 games.
Anaheim Ducks
On February 29, 2016, McGinn was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a conditional 3rd-round pick.[9] McGinn ended the season with 12 points in 21 games for the Ducks.
Arizona Coyotes
On July 1, 2016 it was announced that McGinn had signed as a free agent to a three-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes.[10] In his lone season with the club, McGinn recorded 9 goals and 17 points in 72 games.
Florida Panthers
On September 17, 2017, McGinn was traded by the Coyotes during training camp for the 2017–18 season to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jason Demers.[11]
Personal life
His younger brothers, Tye and Brock are also ice hockey players. Tye was selected 119th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and is currently playing professionally in the NHL with the Tampa Bay Lightning;[12] and Brock was selected 47th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and is currently playing with the Carolina Hurricanes.[13] Along with his father, Bob McGinn, and his two brothers, he is one of the owners of the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs of the Southern Professional Hockey League.[14]
McGinn suffers from a genetic back problem[15] that plagued him extensively during his pre-pro career. Cortisone, rehab, and major surgery in the summer of 2008 helped alleviate the pain, though the lingering effects still plague McGinn, especially due to his high-pace playing style.
