-On Thursday, the lot outside the entrance to Cool Insuring Arena–which had been known as Civic Center Plaza–was renamed Bill Dineen Way, to honor the former Red Wings coach who passed away in December.
-Forward Brian Ward signed a one year contract on Friday, returning for a second season. A key member of the offense, Ward started the season in Albany’s training camp, joined the Thunder in early October, and would lead Adirondack in goals with 27. He would go on to finish his first full pro season with 49 points in 49 games. He also made 8 appearances with the A-Devils, picking up one assist. Ward was named the ECHL’s CCM Rookie of the Month for March 2017 after picking up 8 goals and 9 assists in 11 contests, including his first career hat trick.
