He is the leading personality at ESV Kaufbeuren and will remain with the people of Wertachstadt in the 2022/2023 season. ESVK captain Tyler Spurgeon has extended his expiring contract with the Jokers for another season and should continue to be an important player in coach Marko Raita’s team in the future. The 35-year-old center forward is entering his third season in the ESVK jersey. In 109 competitive games for the DEL2 Club so far, the strong left-handed shooter has scored a strong 115 points. This includes the captain of the jokers, with a face-off rate of 61.36 percent in wins, among the top three face-off players in the DEL2. [nbsp]

ESVK Managing Director Michael Kreitl: “Tyler Spurgeon is a leader through and through. It’s just impressive. He is in top form, can score, is a weapon in face-offs and is also strong in the special teams. Tyler Spurgeon is just a very complete player for the DEL2 and we are really happy that he has decided to continue playing for ESVK despite other good offers. Especially when dealing with our young games, he is almost indispensable for us at the moment.

Tyler Spurgeon on his contract extension: “Whenever I’m allowed to wear the ESVK jersey, it feels like a small privilege for me. I’m just very proud to be able to do this for another year together with my teammates. The ESVK has a lot of potential with its many young and somewhat more experienced players. It’s nice to continue to live in Kaufbeuren and I’m already looking forward to the support of our fans in the coming season.”
