WINDSOR, CO. - The Colorado Eagles, proud AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, have announced that forward Ben Meyers has been reassigned to the Eagles by the team's NHL affiliate.

The 25-year-old has amassed 11 goals and 25 assists in 47 career games with the Eagles, while also collecting six goals in 49 total NHL contests with Colorado.
Prior to making the jump to the pro game, Meyers spent three seasons at the University of Minnesota, where he put up 95 points (39g/56a) in 102 career NCAA contests and served as captain in 2021-22.
