The Medicine Hat Tigers starting goalie and Edmonton Oiler pick has been charged with impaired driving following an incident in his hometown of St. Albert last May.
Tyler Bunz, 19, has entered a not guilty plea to two drunk driving related allegations with his trial on the charges scheduled for March 5, 2012.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Tigers general manager Bob McEwen said the hockey club is currently not commenting on the matter.
The WHL team has been a strong supporter of the city police's anti-drunk driving campaigns in recent years.
Bunz was cut from the Canadian junior team late in the selection process in December prior to the World Junior Championship.
The goalie was picked 121st overall in the 2010 NHL draft.
