The Toronto native played the 2024-25 season for the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) registering 13 assists in 38 games.

During the 2023-24 season, Nyman played for the Vaughan Kings U16 AAA team in the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL), recording 60 points (10 goals, 50 assists) in 73 games.
