The Powell River Kings are thrilled to announce the signing of hometown defenceman Kyle
Mayenburg for the 2026–2027 BCHL season.
For many young hockey players growing up in Powell River, wearing the Kings crest is the
ultimate dream. This season, that dream becomes reality for 19-year-old Mayenburg.
Kings General Manager Tyler Kuntz couldn’t be more excited to welcome another local
product to the roster noting, “This is a great day for the Kings, Kyle and his family, and the
community of Powell River.
Kyle joins an impressive list of local players who have proudly worn the Kings jersey over the
years, including Brad Bombardir, Sean Maguire, Jack Long, Hunter Findlater, Ethan
Schmunk, Nic Porchetta, Caleb Parkhouse and Nick Peters.
Kyle is a smart, dependable defenceman who brings consistency and reliability to our blue
line. He’s dedicated to his craft both on and off the ice, highly coachable, fiercely
competitive, and someone we’ll count on to provide stability and leadership within our
group.
We’re incredibly proud to welcome Kyle to the Kings family. His signing is another important
piece in building a championship-calibre roster while strengthening our connection with
the Powell River community.”
Mayenburg’s hockey journey began at Powell River Rec Complex, where he first learned to
skate before developing through Powell River Minor Hockey proudly wearing the green and
gold. One of his favourite memories came during the U13 Provincial Championships, where
his team captured a silver medal on home ice.
As he progressed through the minor hockey ranks, Mayenburg looked up to former Kings
standouts Jack Long and Johnny Evans, dreaming that one day he’d have the opportunity to
follow in their footsteps.
That dream continued to take shape as he suited up for the North Island Silvertips AAA,
developed at the Delta Hockey Academy, and later played for the Comox Valley Glacier
Kings. Over the past two seasons, Mayenburg has also gained valuable experience as an
affiliate player with the Powell River Kings, making his transition to a full-time roster spot a
natural next step.
“As a young hockey player growing up in Powell River, the dream is to play for the Kings,”
said Mayenburg. “We grow up watching them, so to have the opportunity to live that out is
incredibly special.”
Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 season, Mayenburg is eager to help usher in the next
chapter of Kings hockey.
“I’m looking forward to being part of rebuilding a winning culture and reconnecting the
Kings with the Powell River community.”
The Powell River Kings are proud to welcome Kyle home and look forward to seeing another
hometown player proudly wear the crown this season.
Welcome to the Kings, Kyle!
