The Adirondack Thunder have secured the services of 24‑year‑old defenseman Tynan Ewart, agreeing to a contract that will keep him with the club through the 2026‑27 ECHL season. The signing bolsters a blue‑line that has been searching for stability and adds a blend of collegiate polish and professional grit.
College Foundations
Ewart’s three‑year college career spanned stints at St. Cloud State University and Northern Michigan University, where he ultimately served as team captain. Across 87 games he accumulated 26 points — two goals and 24 assists — demonstrating a reliable offensive touch from the defensive position and a willingness to elevate his teammates.
Professional Experience
Before turning professional, Ewart appeared in 10 games for the Maine Mariners during the previous campaign, contributing a goal and nine assists for a total of ten points. That brief ECHL exposure gave him a taste of the league’s physical demands and allowed him to adapt his game to the faster, more competitive pro environment.
Looking Ahead
Coaches and teammates alike expect Ewart to bring his work ethic, versatility, and leadership to the Thunder’s lineup. Whether quarterbacking the power play, killing penalties, or mentoring younger players, his presence is viewed as a key ingredient as the franchise aims to climb back into playoff contention.
