ECHL: Adirondack Thunder Sign Taylor Ford

Matt Garies/McGill Athletics

The Adirondack Thunder have announced that they have signed defenseman Taylor Ford to a contract for the 2024-25 season. Ford joins the Thunder after spending four seasons in the QMJHL with the Halifax Mooseheads and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, where he would put up 13 goals and 44 assists for 57 points in 143 games. Once finishing up his time in the QMJHL, Ford would play five years at McGill University, where he would put up four goals and 17 assists for 21 points in 115 games and would spend his final two seasons as the captain of the Redbirds.

“Taylor Ford is a player we targeted toward the end of last regular season,” said Head Coach Pete MacArthur. “He was the captain at McGill University and plays the game with intensity and intelligence from the back end. We are excited for Taylor to be a big part of our team and look forward to his leadership becoming a valuable asset toward our goal of winning a championship.”

Ford is the second signing for the Thunder and the second defenseman signed for the 2023-24 season after they re-signed Darian Skeoch last Thursday. The Quebec native plays a similar game to Mike Bergin, as he is very strong defensively and won’t be afraid to drop the gloves if needed. Ford found his offensive game last year as all four of his goals during his time at McGill came during the 2023-24 season, in which he would put up four goals and five assists for nine points in 26 games.
