🚨PLAYER SIGNING ALERT🚨
Join us in giving Cameron Perry a warm Summit City welcome! 🏒

Cameron brings a dynamic combination of speed, skill, and grit that will make an immediate impact on our forward line. His ability to create opportunities, compete in all areas of the ice, and bring relentless energy every shift is exactly the type of player we're proud to add to our roster.

Lets get to work 💪

Another great addition to our 2026–27 lineup! Welcome back, Darrin Trebes! 💪
We're thrilled to have Darrin back with the Distillers after being part of our inaugural season. A veteran presence on the ice, Darrin brings valuable experience, and toughness to our defensive corps. He'll be a major asset on the blue line, and we're excited to see him back in Distillers colors for the upcoming season!
Is it October, yet?

Another big signing for your Saturday afternoon! 🚨
We're pleased to announce the return of Austin Ormsby!
Captain Perry had high praise for AO, calling him a smooth-skating, playmaking defenseman who quickly earned a spot on the top pairing when it mattered most. His hockey IQ, vision, and skill set make him one of the league's top defensemen, and we're excited to have him back in the locker room for another season.
Welcome back, Austin! 👏

Help us give a warm Summit City welcome to Jack Hudec! 🧱
Jack brings a wealth of experience to the Distillers with the numbers to prove it. After establishing himself as one of the top goaltenders in the APHL last season, he’s set to be a major addition to the roster.
Welcome to the Distillers, Jack!

HE’S BAAAAACCCKKKK 🗣️🔥
We’re excited to welcome Antoine Nicol back to the Distillers for another season!
Coach G says Antoine made an immediate impact last year — bringing leadership in the locker room, consistency on the ice, and stepping into key roles the moment he arrived.
Glad to have you back, Nicol. Time to get back to work 💪
