The Orlando Solar Bears have recently announced that defenseman Kurt Gosselin has agreed to terms on an ECHL Standard Player Contract for the upcoming 2024-25 season.

Gosselin wrapped up his fifth season competing in the ECHL last year. During this time, he tallied a total of 55 points, consisting of 22 goals and 33 assists, while also racking up 140 penalty minutes over the course of 147 regular-season games. His ECHL journey included stints with different teams, such as the Cincinnati Cyclones, Kalamazoo Wings, Toledo Walleye, and the Reading Royals. Gosselin made the transition from Reading to Orlando in February 2024 when he was traded by the Royals for forward Ryan Cox, where he concluded the season as part of the Solar Bears roster. He has had experience in the AHL, participating in eight games for the Rochester Americans during the 2018-19 season.

Prior to his professional career, the Brighton, Michigan native played four seasons at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, where he was honored as a member of the WCHA Third All-Star Team in 2017. He also spent three seasons in the BCHL with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, achieving 89 points (26g, 63a) in 122 games. In the 2014-15 season, Gosselin was honored as a BCHL First Team All-Star for his impressive 43-point performance in 32 games.

Gosselin will join Forwards Tyler Bird and Alex Frye, Defenseman Chandler Romeo, along with Goaltender Alexis Gravel as the Solar Bears start the season against the Greenville Swamp Rabbits on Friday, October 18th at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
