Veteran Forward Alex Carrier Returns to Adirondack

GLENS FALLS, NY – The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, announced today that they have signed forward Alex Carrier to a contract for the 2021-22 season.

Carrier, 30, recorded eight points (3 goals, 6 assists) and logged 51 penalty minutes in 30 games played in 2019-20 with Adirondack. Over the course of his ECHL career, Carrier has seen action for eight different franchises, totaling 63 points (17 goals, 46 assists) and 555 PIM in 317 games.

“I am beyond excited that hockey is back in the amazing town of Glens Falls," Carrier said. "I hope the fans are as pumped as the staff and the players are to get this show on the road and see this team on the ice. It has been a long wait and I can’t wait for the season to start on October 23rd at Cool Insuring Arena. Coach Loh has already done a remarkable job bringing three great veterans in (Pete) MacArthur, (Shane) Harper, and (Rob) Bordson. There will be many more good ones to come, too. Thunder fans, rise up because this season will be a wild one!"
