The Bloomington Bison have announced the re‑signing of three forward players — Lou‑Felix Denis, Zach Faremouth and Parker Lindauer — who will return for the 2026‑27 campaign, a move that underscores the club’s intent to build on recent momentum.
A Strategic Roster Move
Denis, a 23‑year‑old native of Farnham, Quebec, arrives after a breakout season in which he posted 30 points, including 15 goals and 15 assists, while logging 71 penalty minutes over 70 games. His 56 career points in the ECHL and 113 points in 197 Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League appearances highlight a trajectory that began with the Reading Royals before he was acquired by the Bison for the final 18 games of the 2024‑25 season.
Faremouth, 26, joins the Bison after a stint with the Greensboro Gargoyles where he recorded 18 points in 53 games and contributed three points in his first 17 appearances for Bloomington. The Michigan‑born forward spent four years at Ferris State University, amassing 35 points in 126 games, and previously honed his skills in the NAHL and USHL, where he tallied 54 points and 251 penalty minutes across 150 USHL contests.
Lindauer, 25, signed on March 20 after serving as an alternate captain during his senior season at Union College, where he produced 34 points in 37 games. He adds collegiate experience from two seasons at the University of Maine and a total of 50 points in 102 career collegiate appearances, complementing earlier junior stints in the NAHL and USHL that yielded 37 and 19 points respectively.
The trio’s blend of youthful vigor and proven production is expected to bolster the Bison’s offensive depth and defensive reliability as the organization aims for a competitive season ahead.
