Isaac Poulter (born September 12, 2001) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the Adirondack Thunder of the ECHL as a prospect to the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career[edit]
Poulter was selected 112th overall in the 2016 Western Hockey League (WHL) Prospects Draft by the Swift Current Broncos. Although he considered playing college ice hockey, Poulter signed with the Broncos in October 2017. His WHL debut came on September 29, 2018, a 5–2 loss against the Red Deer Rebels.[1] Poulter played four seasons with the Broncos, winning the team award for Humanitarian of the Year in the latter three.[2][3]
On June 22, 2022, Poulter turned professional and signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League (AHL). He split the 2022–23 season between the Comets and their ECHL affiliate, the Adirondack Thunder.[4]
The Comets renewed Poulter's contract for the 2023–24 season, signing him to a one-year deal.[5] On February 15, 2024, he signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils, the NHL affiliate of the Comets.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Poulter's parents were both goaltenders, and his great-great-uncle, Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Gardiner, won the Vezina Trophy in 1932 and 1934 as the NHL's best goaltender.[1]
Poulter grew up supporting the Chicago Blackhawks, and later the Winnipeg Jets following their relocation from Atlanta in 2011.[1]
