GLENS FALLS – The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils and Utica Comets, announced that the club has signed defenseman Jordan Klimek to a standard player contract for the 2026-27 season.
Klimek, 31, played the last two seasons with the South Carolina Stingrays and recorded 14 points (8g, 6a) in 74 games with a +22 rating. Prior to returning to South Carolina, the Langley, British Columbia native played three seasons overseas in Hungary and Great Britain where he totaled 51 points (11g, 40a) in 141 games.
“Adding a player of Jordan’s caliber is a huge win for our team,” said Head Coach Sylvain Cloutier. “He plays a hard, smart and reliable game that fits perfectly with the culture we’re building here in Glens Falls. His ability to shut down top lines while making that first pass out of our zone will really help our transition game. We felt it was important to add an experienced defenseman to our group, and Jordan brings exactly the type of experience and consistency we were looking for.”
The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder has 50 points (23g, 27a) in 210 ECHL games with Kansas City and South Carolina. Prior to his professional career, Klimek played for four years at NCAA (D1) Northern Michigan University and served as the team’s assistant captain during the 2017-18 campaign.
