Troy Bourke (born March 30, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey center who is currently playing with the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect for the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Bourke was raised in Onoway, Alberta, and was first selected by the Prince George Cougars 26th overall in the 2009 Western Hockey League bantam draft after a bantam career with the PAC Timberwolves in the AMBHL. In the 2009–10 season, he first played midget hockey in the Alberta Midget Hockey League with the St. Albert Raiders and was selected as the AMHL top player before joining the Cougars at the completion of his midget season to begin his major junior hockey career.

With increasing his production in each of his first two full WHL seasons, Bourke as a then diminutive sized forward was selected 72nd overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. As the Cougars Captain in his final junior season, Bourke led the team with 56 assists and finished second with 85 points, however was unable to help Prince George qualify for the playoffs in the 2013–14 season. Bourke was then signed to an amateur try-out contract with the Avalanche's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters on March 19, 2014.[1] Two days later, Bourke made an impact in his professional debut in scoring a goal and two assists, in a 5-0 victory over the Rochester Americans.[2] With the Monsters also out of playoff contention, Bourke finished the season with 7 points in 15 games.

On May 29, 2014, Bourke was signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Avalanche.[3] Upon attending Colorado's NHL training camp, Bourke was reassigned to Lake Erie to begin his first full professional season in 2014–15.[4]
