Asuchak first came to the Americans during the 2013-14 season. Now, he's back with the club for 2024-25.
To call Spencer Asuchak a veteran of the ECHL and the Allen Americans would be an understatement.
When Asuchak first joined the Allen Americans, the club played in the Central Hockey League. Now,
the Americans have announced the long-time forward will be back for the 2024-25 season.
Asuchak first came to the Americans during the 2013-14 season, finishing runner up to teammate Alex Lavoie for the CHL Rookie of the Year Award. The Kamloops, BC native had 56 points in 66 games during his rookie season, which saw him win the first of three championships with the Americans.
“I’m honored to be back for another season in Allen," Asuchak said. “The fans and the community have been great to us. This is now home for me and my wife. We absolutely love North Texas, and I couldn’t see myself playing anywhere else.”
Asuchak’s best season as a pro came in 2016-2017 where he averaged more than a point a game, scoring 21 goals and adding 35 helpers for 66 points in 64 games.
In 2023, Asuchak was involved in an off-ice legal incident that resulted in the Americans removing him from the active roster. That appears to be water under the bridge, as the club is glad to have a familiar face back in the fold.
Asuchak has played 67 games in the AHL, including stops with the Chicago Wolves, San Jose Barracuda, Charlotte Checkers, Worcester Sharks and Providence Bruins.
Allen will open training camp in October for its 16th season in DFW. The Americans lone preseason game is on Friday, October 11th in Northeast Tarrant County as they host the Tulsa Oilers at NYTEX Sports Centre.
The regular season opens in Tulsa on Thursday, October 24th.
