Brumm was a Cedar Rapids Roughriders (USHL) draft pick in 2013 is known as skilled forward with a scoring touch.

Osterman is a converted defenseman and is known as a tough, grinding forward who can play center or wing. He was a Seattle WHL draft pick in 2012, has played the last 2 seasons in Omaha and now reunites with former Omaha AAA goaltender Danny Mumaugh on the current Thunderbird roster.
Osterman and Brumm now join last years Omaha AAA players Nick Heid (Portland Winterhawks) and Nathan Medeiros (Acadie-Bathurst Titan) in foregoing their NCAA eligibility and opting to sign and play in the CHL Major Junior Circuit starting this season.
