The 5-foot-8 center finished tied for second in team scoring with 37 assists and 59 points in 64 games played. The West St. Paul, MB native is among the all-time leaders in team history with 144 games played (fifth), 40 goals (fourth), 71 assists (third) and 111 points (fifth). The third-year Wrangler is the team's all-time leader with 12 game-winning goals and he is fifth all-time with 14 power-play goals.

"I have really enjoyed my time in Las Vegas and it was an easy decision for me to return," said Mosienko. "We have great fans and a great organization. Over the last few years, we have had some great teams here in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, we fell short of winning a championship last season. With that said, I feel there is unfinished business for us and I want to be a part of a championship in Las Vegas this coming season."

The 24-year old helped Las Vegas to the 2008 Kelly Cup Finals and a National Conference Championship. Mosienko has led the Wranglers to consecutive National Conference and Pacific Division regular season championships (2007 and 2008). In 214 career games, the forward has 55 goals and 106 assists for 161 points. In 37 playoff games, Mosienko has 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points. Mosienko represented Las Vegas at the 2007 ECHL All-Star Game in Boise, ID.

"Tyler Mosienko is a good hockey player who has been very solid for us over the last two seasons," said Wranglers General Manager / Head Coach Glen Gulutzan. "He has been a big part of our success over the last few years and we feel he is an important piece of the puzzle to win a championship. Tyler earned a shot at the AHL last season and we expect him to get another opportunity in 2008-09."

Prior to joining Las Vegas, the fourth-year pro played with the Greenville Grrrowl. As a rookie, Mosienko was selected as an American Conference All Star, posting 47 points in 72 games with the Grrrowl. Before joining the pro ranks, the centerman played five seasons in the WHL with the Kelowna Rockets. Mosienko and the Rockets won the Memorial Cup in 2004 and made it to the Memorial Cup Finals in 2005. Mosienko is second all time in the WHL with 81 career playoff games. Tyler's grandfather, Bill Mosienko is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame after a 14-year career in the NHL. Bill Mosienko owns the NHL record with three goals in 21 seconds.
