The Rapid City Rush have secured the services of forward Seth Fyten for the upcoming 2026‑27 campaign, confirming a contract that keeps the Calgary‑born player in the organization.
Fyten’s statistical trajectory showed a clear uptick, as he recorded 18 points — eight goals and ten assists — across 51 games in his most recent stint with the Rush, and he capped the year with eight points in eleven games during the final month, underscoring his ability to peak when it mattered most.
A Late‑Season Surge
The late‑season surge was not an isolated flash; it was the culmination of a five‑year development arc that began in college and continued through stints with the Savannah Ghost Pirates and Bowling Green State University.
Prior to joining the Rush, Fyten honed his craft in the ECHL with the Savannah Ghost Pirates, where he contributed a goal in six appearances, before a five‑year collegiate run at Bowling Green State University where he appeared in 126 games.
Now 25, the forward brings a blend of size, work ethic and offensive versatility that the Rush coaching staff believes can translate into more power‑play opportunities and depth scoring next season.
Looking Ahead
The Rush, an ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, will open the 2026‑27 schedule in early October, with Fyten slated to be a key contributor from the outset as the club seeks to translate its recent regular‑season success into a deeper playoff run.
