Adirondack Thunder News Release
Glens Falls, NY - The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames, announced today that they have signed forward Ty Loney to a standard player contract.
Loney, 24, joins the Thunder for his second professional season after he spent the 2015-16 season in the Penguins organization, split between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL and Wheeling in the ECHL. With the Penguins, Loney collected six points (0-6-6) in 31 games played. The Valencia, PA native also skated in 28 regular season games with the Nailers, where he amassed 18 points (7-11-18).

Loney's seven postseason tallies tied for third on the Wheeling roster and included goals in series clinching wins over Florida and South Carolina.
The 6-4 winger made his professional debut at the end of the 2014-15 season with the then AHL Norfolk Admirals, where he netted four points (2-2-4) in five games played. Loney collected three points in his professional debut on April 7, including his first career professional goal, the game winner, in a 7-4 win over Binghamton.
