He was drafted by the Sabres in 1994 in the third round, 69th pick overall. He made his debut in the NHL in 1996-97 with the Sabres. In 1998-99 he was traded to the New York Rangers and just a year later he was traded to Atlanta and played 27 games with them during the 1999-00 NHL season. Since that season he has played in the minors.
He has played a total of 69 games in NHL. He scored 5 points (2 goals + 3 assists) with 137 penalty minutes.
Rumun has captured the imagination of a section of the Coventry Blaze fanbase and now has a small fan club of his own that travels to the majority of home games from the town of Banbury. The group of teenagers in the fan club are otherwise known as the AYM (Adderbury Youth Mob).
Ndur is also the first Nigerian-born player ever to play in the NHL. He was born in Nigeria but grew up in Sarnia, Ontario [1].
