Tyler Kobryn returns to Worcester for the 2025-26 season, locking in a seasoned depth forward for the Railers. After a February 2025 midseason move from Florida, Kobryn appeared in 25 Worcester games as part of a larger ECHL resume that includes 170 games and 43 points (25 goals, 18 assists) with 62 penalty minutes. His path shows a versatile, hard-nosed winger who can contribute secondary scoring and physicality in a deep league slate. The signing underscores Worcester’s plan to sustain proven contributors within the Islanders’ development system and maintain a steady roster floor.

Kobryn’s journey spans the SPHL’s Peoria Rivermen to Wesleyan University, where he helped drive a program with a standout NCAA III bid before the 2020 tournament was canceled. Re-signing with Worcester preserves a veteran presence who excels in transitional roles and can be leaned on for bottom-six minutes, power-play depth, and energy in a crowded ECHL landscape as the Railers push for playoff positioning and recruitment in the Islanders’ broader pipeline.
