The New Jersey Jr. Titans, proud members of the NAPHL, are proud to announce that 18U forwards Gavin Gulash and Kyle Jeffers have signed NAHL tender agreements with the New Jersey Titans for next season. The Titans are members of the NAHL’s East Division.
“We are extremely happy for both Gavin and Kyle. These two young men have shown us what it takes to both on and off the ice and we are so happy to see them rewarded, " said Jr. Titans coach George Haviland. “I think it continues to show that players can get to the NAHL from the NAPHL and it makes it especially encouraging that both players can stay close to home to play in the NAHL.”
Gulash, 17, currently plays for the Titans 18U team and has 17 goals and 10 assists for 27 points in only 16 games played. The 2016-17 season marks his third season of playing for the Jr. Titans organization in the NAPHL. Gulash (6’2/200) was selected to and played in the 2016 NAPHL 18U All-Star Game for Team Dixon. He currently is 2nd in points in the 18U Division.
During the 2015-16 season, the native of Chicago, Illinois was named to the All-NAPHL 16U 1st Team and also played in the NAPHL 16U All-Star Game.
Jeffers, 17, is also a member of the Titans 18U team where he has 12 goals and 9 assists for 21 points in 16 games played. Jeffers (5’9/169) was also selected to and played in the 2016 NAPHL 18U All Star Game for Team Dixon.
The Old Bridge, New Jersey native was recently called up to the NAHL with the Titans and scored in his first game.

A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the NAPHL - plus or minus any trades - which became active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the NAHL draft, which will be held in June of 2017.
