The Edmonton Oilers have signed Canadian university goalie Connor Ungar to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Ungar had a 20-6-0 record, a 2.15 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage in his first year at Brock University.
The 22-year-old from Calgary was named the OUA’s goalie and rookie of the year.
The Oilers said Monday that Ungar will go to their American Hockey League team in Bakersfield, California.
Ungar played 87 games over five Western Hockey League seasons for Brandon, Red Deer, and Moose Jaw, with a 53-20-2 record, a 2.57 GAA, and a .917 save percentage.
The 6-foot-2, 196-pound goalie helped the Warriors reach the second round of the playoffs in 2023 with a 6-3-1 record.
The Brock Badgers were the eighth seed in last week’s 2024 University Cup in Toronto and lost 4-0 to the UNB Reds, who were the eventual champions.
In six post-season games for the Badgers, Ungar had a 3-3 record with a 2.33 GAA and .928 save percentage.
