The Ultimate Teammate
"Tegan and Tanner Gylling add a ton of value, in addition to their excellent hockey skills, they are team first guys with excellent character" -APX Coach David Zevnik, an Elite Leage Alum.
APX features the league’s only pair of twins, Tegan (#18) and Tanner (#21) Gylling, from Farmington, Minnesota. The twins helped lead Farmington to a 20-7-1 record last season, and will be seniors this upcoming High School Season.
Watching Tegan and Tanner together on the ice one sees how well they complement each other’s games and help their team achieve success. As the Elite League gives way to the regular Minnesota high school hockey season later this fall, the brothers look to take that on ice chemistry and lead Farmington to another successful season.
"Playing in the Elite League is definitely great competition and is a great opportunity to showcase your talent. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent Farmington, I believe we have a great group of guys that could do something special this season" - Tanner Gylling
and Tegan added - "The Elite League has been a blast, it's fun to compete against the top players from all over Minnesota. Being homegrown from Farmington is very special to me and playing alongside my brother is truly a blessing"
Elite League Mission:
Hockey Development
The High School Elite League is a proven path to critical exposure. Colleges, Junior leagues, and professional scouts attend every one of our games. Players can expect to receive feedback from colleges, Junior Leagues, and professional scouts regarding their own progress.
Personal Development
The league also provides something that is less tangible than achievement, but, we believe, equally critical. The player gets to experience high school, just like everybody his age. There is merit in these regular high school activities to balance out the dedication, determination, and sometimes even stressful pressures of hockey at this Elite level of hockey.
