RAPID CITY, S.D. — The Rapid City Rush, the ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, announced Thursday that defenseman Aaron Hyman has been re-signed for the 2025-26 season.
Hyman, 27, completed his first professional season with the Rush last year. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound defenseman played 44 games, recording two assists and nine penalty minutes.
“Signing Aaron adds a long stick and a good defender,” said Rush Head Coach and General Manager Dave Smith. “Aaron moves very well for a big man. Going into his second year pro, Aaron will be ready to take the next step in his career.”
Before joining the Rush, Hyman played collegiately at Toronto Metro University, where he was the team’s leading-scoring defenseman in the 2023-24 season. The Calgary, Alberta, native also spent four years in the Western Hockey League, winning a WHL Championship with the Seattle Thunderbirds in 2017.
The re-signing of Hyman brings the team’s announced roster to 10 players, including:
Forwards: Ryan Wagner, Parker Bowman, Jonathan Yantsis, Chaz Smedsrud, Cameron Buhl Defensemen: Billy Constantinou, Mitchell Smith, Aaron Hyman Goaltenders: Christian Propp, Nathan Torchia
