Biography
The Peterborough Phantoms are pleased to welcome young goalie, Tyler De La Bertouche, on a prospect contract!
The 16 year old from London played a lot of his junior hockey in Romford and Haringey, but did ice 17 times for the Phantoms U15’s in the 2018/19, posting an impressive save percentage of .938.
Since then, his junior development has continued with the Raiders, where last season he played U18 and featured a number of times on the senior Raider roster as injury cover.
He arrived in Peterborough late last season, following an injury to Ryan Bainborough. De La Bertouche came in to back up Jordan Marr through the Phantoms’ playoff run and regularly practiced with Slava’s side. Now, he joins the Phantoms on a prospect contract, which is set to be made a two-way deal with an NIHL1 side in the coming weeks.
Tyler was very excited to make the permanent switch to Peterborough: “I’m really looking forward to being part of the team this season. I had a great experience being involved in last seasons playoff run and everyone made me feel like part of the family. Peterborough is a great club with great fans and I am excited to return for a full season with the team!”
“Tyler is a good young goalie with a lot of potential. We were really grateful to him last season for stepping into the lineup when Ryan was out and we were impressed with what we saw from him during his time with us. We’re pleased to welcome him on a permanent basis on a prospect contract, whilst hopefully getting him some games in the NIHL1 this season.
