A product of Calgary, Alta., Unger spent this past year splitting time between the Hurricanes and the Moose Jaw Warriors. In 21 games with Moose Jaw, he put up a 4-11-4 record, a 4.36 GAA and a .887 SP. After his trade to the Hurricanes, Unger posted a stat line of 22-7-3 to go along with a 2.42 GAA and a .909 SP. While the Hurricanes got swept by the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Eastern Conference Championship, Unger and the team still played solid hockey, with Unger posting a record of 8-8 as well as a 3.38 GAA and a .893 SP. Drafted by the Warriors in the third round of the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft, Unger played in a total of 159 career WHL regular season games, putting up a 3.38 GAA and a .895 SP. With Unger heading to join the Tigers, they're getting a goalie who should be able to challenge for starts as soon as he steps onto campus. While he's had his ups and downs like anyone else in the WHL, Unger has all the makings of a valuable starting goalie in the NCAA.
