Glens Falls, NY - The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, announced today that they have added forward Troy Bourke and defenseman Nick Trecapelli to the roster.
Bourke was assigned to the Thunder from the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch. The 5-10 winger has appeared in 207 AHL games throughout his professional career, including stops in Lake Erie, San Antonio and Syracuse. Bourke set professional career highs during the 2016-17 season as he appeared in 74 games with San Antonio and collected 24 points (9-15-24).
