Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release


MUSKEGON, MI - The Muskegon Lumberjacks have named Tynan Lawrence the team captain for the 2025-26 season. A native of Fredericton, NB, CAN, Lawrence becomes the 15th captain in franchise history, the 3rd Canadian-born, and the 1st to be named captain in his draft-eligible season.

Lawrence first joined the Lumberjacks as a tender on February 12, 2024, making him the 15th tender in Lumberjacks history. Following his two-year career at Shattuck St. Mary's, Lawrence jumped to the USHL in the 2024-25 season, immediately making an impact. His 54 points in 56 games led the Lumberjacks in the regular season. In the postseason, Lawrence again led the Jacks with 18 points in 14 games, helping the team to its first Clark Cup Championship and taking home playoff MVP honors.

"We are so excited to name Tynan our captain for this upcoming season. He is not only a tremendous hockey player on the ice, but his leadership qualities are unmatched in the 17 years of Junior Hockey I have seen." Said Lumberjacks President, Steve Lowe.

After a strong season and a changing landscape in Junior Hockey, Lawrence has been center stage with opportunities to play for different teams this upcoming season.

"It's well documented by many that Tynan has lots of options for the 2025-26 season. It goes to show you the character Ty has. As a 16-year-old last year, he led our team and program to the ultimate goal. In today's hockey and sports culture, it makes you appreciate Tynan even more and shows the entire hockey world how loyal and high-charactered he is." Lowe finished.

The appreciation for Lawrence is shared by everybody in the Lumberjacks organization. Owner Peter Herms expressed, "I couldn't be prouder that Ty will be leading the Muskegon Lumberjacks in our pursuit of repeating as Clark Cup Champions. Ty is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world at his age level. His presence makes everyone around him better."

The Lumberjacks have done a great job of building a strong roster for the 2025-26 season. Lawrence is joined by a handful of returners from last season's Clark Cup Championship roster, and high-end players making their way to Muskegon for their first season as Lumberjacks.

Head Coach Colten St. Clair added on to the praise. "Tynan embodies everything we value in a leader: accountability, resilience, and a relentless drive to elevate those around him. He doesn't just play the game the right way-he sets the tone, on and off the ice. Naming him captain isn't just about honoring who he is today, but about investing in the culture we're building for tomorrow. We're proud of what we accomplished last season, but we're not standing still. Tynan's hunger, humility, and commitment to growth reflect exactly where we want to go next. He's the right person to lead us-not because we've arrived, but because we're just getting started."
