Former Ottawa 67's and Saginaw Spirit forward Tye Felhaber made his NHL debut with the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night at the age of 26. Felhaber skated for 4:34 as Colorado fell 3-1 to the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.

Now in his eighth AHL season, the Pembroke, Ont. native has registered 67 points (33-34-67) in 187 regular season games with the Colorado Eagles, Milwaukee Admirals, Texas Stars, Syracuse Crunch, and Laval Rocket.

Prior to joining the AHL full-time in 2023-24, Felhaber spent three seasons in the ECHL with the Idaho Steelheads, Orlando Solar Bears, and Fort Wayne Komets, totaling 83 points (26-57-83) in 71 games. He also represented Fort Wayne at the 2023 Warrior/ECHL All-Star Classic.

Felhaber played five OHL seasons with the Saginaw Spirit and Ottawa 67's from 2014-19 after being selected 10th overall by Saginaw in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection. He was named to the 2018-19 OHL Second All-Star Team after a 109-point season (59-50-109) in 68 games with the 67's and led all skaters with 17 playoff goals that spring as the 67's were crowned Eastern Conference champions.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound left-winger signed as a free agent with the Dallas Stars in 2019 and inked a two-year deal with the Avalanche on December 15, 2024.
