Undrafted defenseman Davis Bunz(7) takes 4+ years at Providence College Friars to a 1st pro contract with Wheeling Nailers for the 2022/2023 season.
The 6’1″ 181 lbs. blue liner has never been much of a scorer, but did leave a USHL frame for Central Illinois Flying Aces to head to school mid-campaign.
A Middleton, WI native, his senior year was way off the hook with 23 goals in 24 games.
The 23-year old should have a really good rookie run.
3 goals and 20 assists in a 1st ECHL frame was impressive enough to want to keep him in West Virginia another season.
He’ll have to work on his +/- some.
Accomplishing exactly what he needed to, he walks away from 2023/2024 with a league high 10 goals and 21 assists with a new accountable +20 rating in 2nd 58 games, then adds another 5 points in the playoffs.
For his new move, he skates overseas, accepting a 1-year EIHL deal with Nottingham Panthers for 2024/2025.
