GLENS FALLS, NY – The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, announced today that they have signed defenseman Cooper Jones to a standard player contract prior to this weekend’s games.
Jones, 20, joins the Thunder roster from the Boston Jr. Bandits of the National Collegiate Development Conference of the USPHL. The defenseman appeared in three games for the Bandits, recording a pair of assists and 12 PIM. Previously this season, Jones saw action in eight combined games between the SPHL’s Knoxville Ice Bears and USHL’s Cedar Rapids RoughRiders.
