Monster 6-foot-5 and 206 pound defenseman accepts invite to NHL training camp
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.
Mburanumwe has committed to playing for the University of McGill in the USports League, which is similar to the NCAA in the US.
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.
