Defenseman Colby Sissons has been re-assigned to the Thunder from the AHL’s Binghamton Devils. Additionally, defenseman Desmond Bergin has signed a PTO with the Binghamton Devils.
Sissons, 21, is skating in his first professional season where he has recorded 10 points (2g-8a) in 34 games with the Devils. Prior to turning pro, the 6-foot-2 blueliner played three-plus years for the Western Hockey League’s Swift Current Broncos.

Bergin, 26, heads to the American Hockey League for the fourth time this season after two stints with Providence and one with Milwaukee earlier this season. The native of Natick, MA has recorded 20 points (7g-13a) from 32 games played and leads all Adirondack defensemen with 0.63 points-per-game. Bergin has skated in 10 career AHL games.
