Entering his third season in Kalamazoo, Jurynec has already established himself as a fan-favorite by finding a few roles for himself. Before ending the season with an injury, the native of Orland Park, Illinois played in 37 contests for the K-Wings recording 15 points (4 goals, 11 assists) and amassing 102 minutes in penalties (PIMS).

The injury to Jurynec marked the second time in as many seasons, the forward’s year was cut short due to injury. During this rookie season, Jurynec saw action in 53 games earning 13 points (6 goals, 7 assists) and 108 PIMS.

Jurynec is a two-time recipient of the K-Wings’ Booster Club Appreciation Award (given to the player that makes the most public appearances) and was the Kalsee Credit Union Unsung Hero during the 2008-09 season.

Prior to turning pro, Jurynec was a four-year standout at American International College in Massachusetts and was the captain for the Yellow Jackets during his senior season. In 126 NCAA games, Jurynec racked up 48 points (16 goals and 32 assists) and was a four-time Atlantic Hockey League all-academic selection.

An iron man, Jurynec only missed six games during his career at American International College. Coming from a hockey family, his father, Mick, played in the Ontario Hockey League with the Sudbury Wolves.
