Troy Bourke (born March 30, 1994) is a

2012 NHL Entry Draft

Playing career

Bourke was raised in Onoway, Alberta, and was first selected by 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

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.

On June 26, 2017, Bourke as a restricted free agent, was not tendered a qualifying contract by the Colorado Avalanche, thus ending his three-year tenure within the organization in releasing him to free agency.[5] With no NHL contract offers over the summer, Bourke signed a one-year AHL contract with the Syracuse Crunch on September 26, 2017.[6]

Bourke remained within the Crunch organization for two seasons, splitting the

Orlando Solar Bears
.

As a free agent with his career prospects stalling, Bourke opted to pursue a European career, agreeing to a one-year contract with German club, Schwenninger Wild Wings of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), on May 16, 2019.[7]

Following two productive seasons in the DEL, Bourke left Germany as a free agent and was signed to a one-year contract with Finnish club,

2021–22
season, placing second in team scoring with 12 goals and 24 assists for 36 points in 53 regular season games.

On June 3, 2022, Bourke left Finland as a free agent and continued his European career by signing a one-year contract with Austrian based, EC Red Bull Salzburg of the ICEHL.[9]
