The Allen Americans have added a versatile power forward to their roster for 2025-26.

The team, along with head coach and GM Steve Martinson, have announced the signing of forward Thomas Caron for the upcoming season.

The 24-year-old Caron plays on the left side up front. The native of Candiac, Quebec joins the Americans after playing four years of professional hockey that included ECHL stops in Trois-Rivieres, Norfolk, and Idaho.

In 93 career ECHL contests, Caron has totaled 52 points (17-35-52). In 31 games with the Steelheads last season, he recorded 26 points (8-18-26). He also appeared in 15 games with HPK (Liiga), scoring seven points (5-2-7).

“He is a true power forward,” noted Martinson. “He scores, makes plays, and hits like a truck. Thomas (Caron) is just one of the signed players that guarantees that we have the guys that can play the heavy offensive style that our fans expect and love to watch”.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound left-shot winger also has 55 games in the American Hockey League, all with the Manitoba Moose. Over that span, he has 10 points (5-5-10).
