Playing career

On April 21, 2011, Bulmer was signed by the Minnesota Wild to a three-year entry-level contract.[1] Bulmer made his NHL debut on opening night of the 2011–12 season on October 8, 2011.[2] After playing in nine NHL games, in which he registered three assists, six penalty minutes, and a plus-one rating, the 19-year-old was returned to his junior team the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League to continue his development on October 31, 2011.[3] Bulmer missed a portion of the 2012–13 AHL season due to injuries.[4]

On December 12, 2013, Bulmer was recalled to the Minnesota Wild,[5] he played in 5 games going scoreless, before he was reassigned to Iowa on December 20, 2013.[6]

As an un-signed free agent from the Wild over the summer, Bulmer opted to continue his career abroad, signing mid-season deal with Finnish club, Ilves Tampere of the top tier Liiga on October 30, 2016.[7] On February 6, 2017, he transferred to ERC Ingolstadt of the German DEL,[8] signing a contract for the remainder of the 2016–17 campaign. Bulmer appeared in the final 7 regular season games with Ingolstadt, contributing with 3 points before suffering a preliminary playoff loss to the Fischtown Pinguins to conclude his tenure with ERC.[9]

On September 28, 2017, Bulmer opted to continue his career back in North America, signing a one-year ECHL contract with the Florida Everblades.[10]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Bulmer penned a one-year deal with British EIHL side Fife Flyers.[11] In August 2019, Bulmer moved to Fife's Elite League counterparts Nottingham Panthers.[12]

In February 2020, an issue with Bulmer's visa forced Nottingham to release him from his contract - although the club did not rule out the player returning for next season. Bulmer then joined DEL2 side EHC Freiburg, a side led by former Glasgow Clan coach Pete Russell.[13][14]

After a 76-point season with Oberliga side Hannover Indians in 2020–21, Bulmer opted to remain in the German third tier and signed for Tilburg Trappers for the 2021–22 season.[15][16]
