WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles announced Thursday that they have signed goaltender Tyler Bunz and defenseman Nolan Kaiser to professional tryout agreements.
A former 5th round pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 2010, Bunz made his NHL debut last season when he took the net for the Oilers against the Los Angeles Kings on April 2, 2015. In addition to his time with the Oilers, the Regina, Saskatchewan native has appeared in eight AHL contests with the Oklahoma City Barons. Bunz most recently saw action in 17 games with the Wichita Thunder during the 2014-15 campaign, posting a 2.97 GAA. In total, Bunz has appeared in 67 ECHL contests, including stops in Bakersfield and Stockton, registering a combined goals-against average of 3.11 and a .890 save percentage.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound netminder was a 1st round pick of the Medicine Hat Tigers in the 2007 WHL draft and saw action in 197 games with the Tigers over the course of his junior career. During that time, Bunz posted a 2.72 GAA and a .911 save percentage, while also being named to the WHL All-Star Team in both 2011 and 2012 and received the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's Top Goaltender in 2012.
Kaiser spent the past four seasons at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, where he notched five goals, 10 assists and 84 penalty minutes in 76 games with the Nanooks. The 6-foot, 195-pound blueliner was also named to the WCHA All-Academic Team in both his junior and senior seasons.
