After his season came to a close on Friday, Ty Mueller has officially put pen-to-paper with the Vancouver Canucks.

In a post on X on Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they've signed prospect Ty Mueller to a three-year, entry-level contract.

"Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with forward Ty Mueller."

Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin commented on the signing in a press release on the team's website, saying that Mueller is a smart two-way player.

"Ty has continued to develop and take important steps forward since we drafted him," said Allvin. «He is a smart two-way hockey player who we look forward to working with as he makes the transition from college hockey to the pro game."

Mueller, who was selected in the fourth round in 2023, was in his third year at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and played fairly well. In 40 games this season, he put up 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists), 33 penalty minutes and was a plus-nine.

The University of Nebraska-Omaha faced off against the University of Minnesota on Friday night in the West Regional Semi-Finals of the NCAA Division 1 Men's Hockey Tournament and fell by a score of 3-2, ending Mueller's season.
