FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Fayetteville Marksmen, proud members of the SPHL, are pleased to announce the signings of forward Tyler Kobryn and goaltender Troy Kobryn for the 2023-24 season.

"As a player, we gain a veteran presence with three seasons of ECHL experience and over 120 games," said Head Coach Ryan Cruthers. "As a person, he fits our culture and what we are building extremely well. We will lean on him as a leader and expect him to be impactful in all situations."

Troy, 24, split collegiate play between Merrimack and American International College before getting an opportunity between the pipes for the Norfolk Admirals at the end of the 2022-23 season.
"I have been familiar with Troy since his days of junior hockey and our paths crossed at the NCAA D-I level," said Cruthers.
