History
2008-09: Bulmer, an 11th round selection of the Kelowna Rockets at the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft, played in 3 games for the Rockets. He registered no points in those games.
2009-10: In his WHL Rookie season, Bulmer played in 65 games for the Rockets. He scored 13 goals and added 27 assists for 40 points while picking up 95 penalty minutes. In 12 playoff games for the Rockets, he scored 3 goals and added 2 assists for 5 points.
2010-11: Bulmer signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Wild in April 2011 and made his pro hockey debut; skating in eight AHL playoff games for the Houston Aeros following his second season in the WHL. Bulmer had no points and was +2 with 6 PMs in limited action with the Aeros. During the regular season, he skated in 57 of 72 games for Kelowna, missing 15 games after suffering a leg injury in February. Bulmer's 31 assists were tied for third most on the team and he scored 18 goals. He was a team worst -12 on the BC Division's first-place Rockets and was the second-most penalized Rocket with 109 PMs. Bulmer skated in all 10 playoff games and scored 4 goals with 2 assists and was -1 with 4 PMs as Kelowna reached the second round.
Talent Analysis
A big body who can hit and defend effectively, Bulmer is more oriented to the defensive side of the game. However, he has added some power moves to his repertoire, and could be an above-average second liner.
Future
Bulmer was a late cut from this year's Wild roster, but showed enough in his nine game stint to make an NHL roster spot next season quite likely. Currently playing with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, Bulmer is showing better offense than last year and should finish his junior career with strong numbers and an optimistic eye to the future.
