His use through 2 seasons is limited to just 16 games, which makes it tough to create momentum, but does come away with 3 assists and a +2 rating.

We look for the 21-year old to do well in CCC play.
14th year center Tyler McNeely(14) steps back to re-join Germany3 for 2024/2025, but will switch allegiances, signing with Bietigheim Steelers, who he played for their DEL2 team earlier career with success for a couple of seasons.
