Massive 20-year-old defenseman Igor Mburanumwe, standing nearly six and a half feet tall, has earned a tryout at an NHL training camp.
The young defenseman, who has a frame suitable for professional wrestling, is getting a tryout with an NHL team. Igor Mburanumwe, 20, is six-foot-five and weighs 206 lbs, with potential to get even bigger.
James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports that Mburanumwe has been invited to the New Jersey Devils' training camp in September. Mburanumwe started playing in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 2020 with the Victoriaville Tigres and was traded to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan last season.
"The Chambly, Quebec, Canada native had a career year in his 20-year-old season skating with the Titan, potting seven goals, 13 assists, and 20 points, career highs in each category. It's also worth noting he was a plus-20 on the season. Mburanumwe wore an 'A' for the Titan last season and was described as a vocal leader in the locker room."
Mburanumwe has committed to playing for the University of McGill in the USports League, which is similar to the NCAA in the US.
"The McGill Men's Hockey Team is extremely proud welcome Igor Mburanumwe to the Redbirds for the 2024-2025 Season‼️. Hailing from Chambly, Quebec, he will join us from Acadie-Bathurts Titan"
Mburanumwe is described as a defensive defenseman, despite a bit of an offensive breakout last season, and he is not afraid to use his size on the ice.
