Nathan Clurman's story
Nathan Clurman first honed his game at Culver Military Academy, where the routines of practice and defensive positioning laid the groundwork for his future role on the back end. Born in 1998, he entered the NHL radar early and was selected in the sixth round, 161st overall, by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2016 draft.
He continued his development in the USHL with stops in Tri-City, Des Moines and Sioux City, gaining experience in a competitive junior setting before moving to the collegiate ranks. Clurman committed to Notre Dame and began his NCAA career in 2018.
During his time with the Irish he gradually assumed greater responsibility. He registered seven points in 27 games and served as team captain in his junior season, helping Notre Dame reach its fifth straight NCAA Tournament. In April 2021 he wrapped up his college career and signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Avalanche, the organization that had selected him five years earlier.
After that initial professional deal, Clurman entered free agency and on July 1, 2024 agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins; he made his NHL debut for Pittsburgh on December 29, 2024 against the New York Islanders. The following offseason he signed another one-year, two-way pact on July 1, 2025 with the Montreal Canadiens for the 2025–26 season.
When that contract ended, Clurman opted to continue his career overseas and on June 12, 2026 signed a one-year deal with Rögle BK of the SHL. A defenseman by trade, he is noted for steady, dependable play on the defensive side and for filling structured roles on the blue line.
