PENSACOLA, FL —The Pensacola Ice Flyers announced today that the team has re-signed forward Tyler Burnie for the 2026–27 season.
Burnie was a key contributor for the Ice Flyers during the 2025–26 campaign, appearing in 54 regular-season gameswhile recording five goals and 22 assists for 27 points. The 6-foot-4 forward showcased his versatility throughout the season, using his size, playmaking ability, and physical presence to become one of Pensacola’s most dependable forwards.
“We’re excited to bring Tyler back to Pensacola.” said Head Coach Jeremy Gates. “He has great hockey sense and hockey IQ. He brings size and energy along with a competitiveness to our team with the ability of adding physicality. He can contribute in different situations and has a team-first mentality.”
A native of Midhurst, Ontario, Burnie joined the Ice Flyers ahead of the 2025–26 season and quickly became an important piece of Pensacola’s forward group. His ability to protect the puck, create offense, and play a physical 200-foot game made him a reliable option in every situation throughout the season.
Burnie elevated his game during the postseason, tallying two goals and one assist in three playoff games, continuing to produce offensively when the stakes were at their highest.
“I’m looking forward to being back,” said Burnie. “There is nowhere like Pensacola and I want to win a championship here.”
The 2026–27 season will mark Burnie’s second year with the Ice Flyers as he looks to build on a strong debut season and continue to be a key contributor to Pensacola’s offense.
