Grizzlies Sign Enns and Winslow for Upcoming Season
The Utah Grizzlies have signed a pair of defensemen as Colby Enns and Avery Winslow will join the club for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
Enns played at Northern Michigan University for four seasons from 2020-2024, appearing in 88 games, scoring 5 goals and 12 assists. He was a +19 combined in his time at Northern Michigan. He transferred to Merrimack College for the 2024-25 season and had 4 assists in 29 games.

“Super excited for this opportunity and to be a part of this organization! Looking forward to the start of the season in Utah,” says Enns.
Grizzlies GM Erik Hudson says “Colby is as steady of a defensemen as they come. He brings a big presence on the blue line and is extremely reliable with the puck. Pair that with his ability to make plays with his stick, we look for big things out of Colby coming from Northern Michigan to the Utah Grizzlies.”
Winslow played in the OHL for London and North Bay. He started his professional career by appearing in 5 games with the Wheeling Nailers during the 2023-24 season.
