Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans, and partner Globe Life, are proud to announce that the team has signed defenseman Nick Albano for the 2022-2023 season.
Nick Albano, who was acquired in a trade last season with the Worcester Railers, played in 18 games with the Americans and had six points (0 goals and 6 assists). In 28 games for the Railers, last year before the trade to Allen, he had 18 points.
"We are very happy to have Nick (Albano) back here in Allen for the coming season," noted Allen Americans Head Coach and General Manager Chad Costello. "I'm excited to work with Nick, along with helping him pursue his goals, and furthering him in his career."
