TOLEDO, Ohio – Forward Reilly Funk returns to the Toledo Walleye for his first full professional season after agreeing to terms for the 2026-27 season. 

A native of Portage, Manitoba, Funk returns after posting seven points (3g-4a) and 10 penalty minutes in 18 regular-season games last year.

He netted 54 points (22g-32a) and 78 penalty minutes in 113 collegiate games. Prior to his collegiate career, he played two seasons in the United States Hockey League with the Youngstown Phantoms, serving as team captain in his second season (2020-21) and accumulating 40 points (18g-22a) and 96 penalty minutes in 80 games.
