Playing career

In the following 2016–17 season, Geertsen was assigned to continue with the Rampage, on October 1, 2016.[1] Used primarily a defensive role adding physicality, Geertsen appeared in 36 games with the Rampage for 4 assists. He split the season again between the AHL and ECHL joining secondary affiliate, the Colorado Eagles in time for the post-season. Geersten remained with the club through the post-season, establishing a regular spot on the defense in recording 1 goal and 4 points in 19 games to help the Eagles capture their first Kelly Cup.[2]

As an impending restricted free agent following the conclusion of his entry-level contract, Geertsen's tenure with the Avalanche ended after he was not tendered a qualifying offer on June 25, 2019.[3] As a free agent over the summer, Geertsen was invited to attend the New York Rangers 2019 training camp. After a successful camp, Geertsen was signed to a one-year AHL contract with affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, on September 29, 2019.[4]

International play

Geertsen represented Canada Pacific at the 2012 World U-17 Hockey Challenge in Windsor, Ontario. He was scoreless in five games from the blueline in a fifth place finish.
