The San Diego Gulls announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has assigned center Tyler Soy to the Tulsa Oilers of the ECHL. In addition, San Diego has released center Jake Marchment from his professional tryout (PTO). 
 
Soy, 21 (2/10/97), has yet to appear in a game with San Diego this season. Selected by Anaheim in the seventh round (205th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft, Soy scored 151-176=327 points with a +99 rating and 128 penalty minutes (PIM) in 323 games with the Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League (WHL) from 2012-18, setting club records for career goals, assists, points and games played. The Richmond, British Columbia native made his professional debut with San Diego on Apr. 8, 2017, and went scoreless in two regular-season games with the Gulls during the 2016-17 season. 
 
Marchment, 23 (5/20/95), earned one assist with seven PIM in three contests with San Diego. The 6-3, 205-pound forward made his Gulls debut on Oct. 6 at Tucson and earned his first career AHL point (assist) on Oct. 20 vs. Bakersfield. A native of Courtice, Ontario, Marchment has appeared in seven career AHL games with San Diego and San Jose (2016-17).
