The SPHL’s Fayetteville Marksmen have announced that they have signed forward Evan Pringle for the 2026-27 season.

A San Jose native, Pringle made his professional debut last season with the Marksmen after four years at NCAA D-III SUNY-Canton, where he was a constant offensive threat. In 81 games for the Roos, Pringle recorded 64 points (28 goals, 36 assists), including a career-high 10 goals in his senior season.

“Evan is a highly skilled, big forward that is going to make his mark for us this coming season,” said Fayetteville head coach Garrett Rutledge. “I am very excited to see Evan have a breakout year contributing in all areas for the Marksmen.”

Pringle capped off his first stint in professional hockey with a hat trick in the Marksmen’s 6-0 win over the Macon Mayhem in the final game of the 2025-26 season, finishing with five points (four goals, assists) in the 13 games he played for Fayetteville.

“I’m excited to get back to Fayetteville and win,” said Pringle. “I’m looking forward to playing for Coach Rutledge and showcasing the team for the great fans of Fayetteville.”
