Whistler goalie Beck Warm has impressed to start his professional career, and the Carolina Hurricanes saw fit to secure his services for the time being.
The 21-year-old signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, the team announced on March 6. The deal is worth US$700,000 this year and $750,000 next year at the NHL level, and is worth $60,000 in the American Hockey League (AHL). Warm also received a $50,000 signing bonus.
Suiting up for the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, the six-foot-tall netminder has been a revelation early on in his first professional season, starting out 4-0 before suffering his first defeat, 3-1 to the Cleveland Monsters, on Saturday night.
Through five contests, Warm has a .935 save percentage and 2.43 goals against average.
He had initially joined the Wolves on an AHL-level contract signed last November.
