Five-time AHL All-Star and two-time Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award winner Cal O’Reilly has signed a contract with the SCL Tigers of the Swiss NL until the end of October with an option to extend.
One of the most prolific players in AHL history, O’Reilly recorded 177 goals, 606 assists, and 783 points in 1022 games over parts of 18 seasons. He has the eighth most games played in league history, sits sixth all-time in assists, and is 18th all-time in points.
The 38-year-old recorded 11 goals and 49 points in 68 games to lead the Milwaukee Admirals in scoring last season and was an assistant captain.
A fifth round selection of the Nashville Predators in 2005, O’Reilly has 16 goals and 49 points in 145 career NHL games with the Predators, Phoenix Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Buffalo Sabres, and Minnesota Wild.
O’Reilly is known as a fantastic leader and won the Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award as the AHL player who best exemplifies sportsmanship in 2021 and 2025. He served as captain with four different AHL franchises over his career.
An AHL All-Star in 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016, and 2019, O’Reilly led the Calder Cup Playoffs in assists in 2015.
While he is only signed until the end of October there is a good chance we have seen O’Reilly’s Hall of Fame AHL career come to an end.
