    Pete MacArthur's contract extension with the Adirondack Thunder will run through the 2025-26 season

    Pete MacArthur has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2025-26 season to remain as the head coach and director of hockey operations for the Adirondack Thunder. 

    The 39-year-old has led the team for the past two seasons, during which the Thunder made consecutive postseason appearances, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 2023-24.

    “My family and I are so grateful to continue with this amazing opportunity in Adirondack,” said MacArthur in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to improve on-and-off the ice and fight for a Kelly Cup Championship with the best fans in the league behind us. Go Thunder!”

    “We are thrilled to be able to extend Pete’s contract” said Team President Jeff Mead. “He has proven in just two years that he is the right leader for our organization. We have seen amazing success on the ice, including 17 sellouts last season. We look forward to continuing our quest for the Kelly Cup under Pete’s leadership.”

    Prior to his coaching career, MacArthur notably played professionally for Adirondack and served as the team's captain for part of three seasons. In his final year as a player, he tallied eight goals and 23 assists for a total of 31 points in 38 games.
