Playing career
Prior to turning professional, Kurtz played four seasons of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Windsor Spitfires and Sudbury Wolves. For his play during the 2009–10 OHL season, Kurtz was unanimously selected to receive the Mickey Renaud Captain's Trophy as the “OHL team captain that best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice, with a passion and dedication to the game of hockey and his community”.[1]
Immediately following the conclusion of his final OHL season, Kurts began his professional career with the Syracuse Crunch, joining the AHL team for their closing games of the 2009–10 AHL season.[2][3] Kurtz was later signed to a one-year entry level contract with NHL affiliate, the Anaheim Ducks on April 10, 2013.[4]
After two seasons within the Ducks organization, Kurtz left as a free agent and later accepted an invitation to the Vancouver Canucks training camp on a professional try-out contract on September 11, 2015.[5]
On February 23, 2016, Kurtz signed a professional tryout contract with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
