- In the 2025–26 season with Syracuse, Halverson appeared in a substantial number of games, posting a solid win-loss record, a strong goals-against average, and multiple shutouts, contributing as the Crunch’s primary goaltender that season [sources referenced below].
- He received AHL recognition in early 2026, including being highlighted for notable performances and a goaltender of the month nod in March 2026 for a string of games with the Crunch [sources referenced below].
- Relevance to current status: as of April 2026, reporting indicates Halverson remained active with the Lightning organization, with periodic recalls or reassignment depending on injuries and roster needs, and continued AHL success with Syracuse [sources referenced below].
