Vancouver Canucks Goalie Prospect Ty Young has Unforgettable AHL start with the Abbotsford Canucks
Vancouver Canucks top Goalie Prospect Ty Young has made an unforgettable appearance for the AHL Abbotsford Canucks.
Just over a week ago, Ty Young was called up to the Vancouver Canucks without even making an AHL start.
The call up was purely a paper transaction, but still came to surprise to many as Ty Young has spent the entirety of his young professional career in the East Coast Hockey League.
With a lack of room for him at the AHL level, Ty Young was sent down to start the year with the ECHL Kalamazoo Wings, but it was very noticeable that he belonged with Abbotsford.
With his short call up to the Vancouver Canucks, he was still able to practice and train with the team while Arturs Silovs was sent down for a rehab start.
When Ty Young was eventually sent down, he did not go back to the ECHL but finally go his chance to stick in Abbotsford where he belongs as Jiri Patera is still on Injured reserve.
