Kelowna Rockets News Release


The Minnesota Wild have sent 19-year-old forward Brett Bulmer back to the Kelowna Rockets.

Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher announced on Monday that Bulmer was reassigned to the Rockets after playing in nine NHL games with Minnesota and recording three assists.

"Obviously this couldn't come at a better time for us, with the injury situation we have here," said Rockets president/general manager Bruce Hamilton. "He will be a great big boost to the dressing room and on the ice we're going to have to get him matched up with who the coaches think he's going to work best with."

Bulmer notched three assists, had six penalty minutes and had a plus-1 rating in his nine game stint with the Wild. The 6-foot-3 native of Prince George made his NHL debut Oct. 8 against Columbus registered his first NHL point on Oct. 10 against the New York Islanders.

In 57 games with the Rockets last season he had 49 points (18-31-49) and 109 penalty minutes. He was drafted by Minnesota in the second round othe 2010 NHL entry Draft, 39th overall.

Bulmer is expected in the lineup this weekend when the Rockets host the Portland Winterhawks for two games at Prospera Place on Friday and Saturday.
