GLENS FALLS – The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils and Utica Comets, announced that the club has signed forward Cédric Lacroix to a standard player contract for the 2026-27 season.
Lacroix, 32, played last season overseas with the EIHL’s Cardiff Devils and recorded 16 points (6g, 10a) in 34 games. The Shefford, Quebec native last played in North America in the 2022-23 season with the Trois-Rivieres Lions, Toledo Walleye, and American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins.
“Cédric is a tremendous addition to our forward group,” said Head Coach Sylvain Cloutier. “He brings a heavy, pro-style game, an unmatched competitive edge, and a wealth of experience playing in both the AHL and Europe. His combination of size, experience, and intensity will make an immediate impact on our lineup and the culture we are building here in Glens Falls. We're excited to have him on board.”
In 28 games with both Trois-Rivieres and Toledo, Lacroix totaled 14 points (6g, 8a) and had two assists in 15 games with Grand Rapids. The 6-foot-1, 187-pound forward has played in 178 ECHL games with Wheeling, Greenville, Indy, Trois-Rivieres and Toledo, and has 100 points (51g, 49a). Lacroix has played 64 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Charlotte, Bridgeport, Chicago, Tucson, and Grand Rapids and has seven points.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Adirondack Thunder,” said Lacroix. “I know the expectations and standard are high in Glens Falls, and that’s a challenge I’m excited to embrace alongside this group.
