GLENS FALLS - The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils and Utica Comets, have announced that the club has re-signed forward Jacob Slipec to a standard player contract for the 2026-27 season.
Slipec, 24, played in six games towards the end of the regular season with the Thunder last year.
"We're excited to bring back Jacob Slipec to our forward group," said Head Coach Sylvain Cloutier. "He brings a heavy, high-energy style of play, strong defensive habits, and a relentless work ethic. His four years at Omaha have helped develop him into the hard-nosed, character player we want in our locker room as we continue to push forward."
Prior to coming to Adirondack last season, Slipec finished his collegiate career at NCAA (D1) University of Nebraska-Omaha where he recorded seven points (4g, 3a) in 33 games.
