Calgary Wranglers Sign Kyler Kupka To PTO
The Calgary Wranglers have signed forward Kyler Kupka to a professional try-out, it was announced this past weekend. Kupka, who was recently named ECHL Player of the Week, has played the entire season with the South Carolina Stingrays where he has collected 26 goals and 25 assists for 51 points in 49 games. In his first full season of pro hockey this year, Kupka joined the Stingrays at the end of the 2023-24 season after spending five years at St. Cloud State (NCAA). Across 145 career games, Kupka scored 32 goals and added 53 assists for 85 points. With Kupka joining the Wranglers on a PTO, he could have a strong chance to see some games with the team. Kupka has already established himself as a difference maker at the ECHL level and should be a good candidate to jump to the AHL full time in 2025-26.
