Tyler Krivtsov, a 2026‑27 transfer goaltender, has officially joined the University of Denver’s hockey program, adding depth to a roster that has been bolstering its talent pool ahead of the upcoming season.
Krivtsov arrives after two seasons at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2025‑26 and posted a 3.34 goals‑against average with a .898 save percentage across 44 appearances.
His statistical résumé includes a career‑high 46 saves in a game against Denver on October 31 and a shutout performance with 35 stops on November 18 at Stonehill, underscoring his ability to rise to high‑pressure moments.
A New Chapter for the Pioneers
Before college, the Jamaican‑born netminder honed his skills with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League and skated at Shattuck‑St. Mary’s prep school in Minnesota, experiences that helped shape his competitive edge.
Earlier this year, Krivtsov represented Jamaica at the Challenger Series in Chicago, gaining international exposure that could prove valuable as the Pioneers aim for a strong campaign.
Coaches expect the transfer to bring a blend of resilience and experience, qualities that could be pivotal as Denver looks to contend in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.
