PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. -- The Arizona Sundogs of the Central
Hockey League announced today that they signed goaltender Kyle
McNulty for the upcoming 2009-10 season.
McNulty, 27, joins the Sundogs after spending the 2008-09 season
with the now-defunct New Mexico Scorpions, recording an 11-7-2
record in 23 appearances. The 5-foot-11, 178-pound
netminder’s .918 save percentage (SV%) was fifth-best in the
CHL last season while his 2.82 goals against average (GAA) was
ranked ninth-best among CHL backstops.
“Kyle impressed our coaching staff with his play while with
New Mexico last season,” said Arizona Sundogs Head Coach and
General Manager Marco Pietroniro. “The opportunity to sign
Kyle presented itself when New Mexico announced its plans to go
dark for the 2009-10 season and we wasted no time. We’re
confident he will pick up where he left off last season.”
The native of Wakefield, Rhode Island earned Oakley/CHL Goaltender
of the Week honors in late-February after posting a 3-1 record in
four-straight starts and turning aside 125 of 138 shots for a .906
SV%.
Prior to turning pro, McNulty spent four seasons at NCAA Div. 1
Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. In 35 collegiate games,
McNulty collected a 12-19-1 record, 2.66 GAA and .894 SV%.
