The Florida Everblades have announced the return of defenseman Sean Allen for the 2025–26 ECHL season. The 27-year-old will be entering his second season with the Everblades, bringing experience, grit, and a physical presence back to Florida’s blue line.

Allen joined the Everblades ahead of the 2024–25 campaign and appeared in 59 regular-season games, registering three goals, 12 assists, and 15 points, along with 150 penalty minutes and a +8 rating. He also skated in all 13 postseason games during Florida’s playoff run.

Approaching 300 Career ECHL Games Played

Allen enters the upcoming season with 297 ECHL games played, putting him on track to reach the 300-game milestone early in the 2025–26 season. His ECHL career includes time with Wichita, Cincinnati, and Florida, as well as a brief stint in the EIHL with the Dundee Stars.

In addition, Allen has made 31 playoff appearances.

Physical Style and Veteran Presence

Known for his physical style and defensive awareness, Allen has consistently brought intensity and edge to every lineup he’s joined. He led the Everblades in penalty minutes last season and was regularly used in high-pressure, shorthanded situations. His return adds experience and stability to Florida’s blue line as the team begins assembling its 2025–26 roster. With nearly a decade of professional hockey experience, Allen offers veteran awareness and a steady presence in the defensive zone.
