Weller was not only a big part of the Thunder on the ice, but his impacts off the ice caught the eyes of the Glens Falls community and was one of the big spotlights for the Thunder during the Summer. Heading into the season with the unknown certainty of Shane Harper, Weller was one of the names that fans brought up as being named captain, which would have been fitting for his final season, especially being captain of his hometown team. It is unknown if Weller will call it a career or will find another team to finish out the season with is still unknown.
