Manchester Storm are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian forward Kaleb Ergang, most recently with Adirondack Thunder (ECHL).

The 24-year-old right winger from Spruce Grove, Alberta, joins the Storm following a successful collegiate career with Ferris State University. Ergang is known for his smart play and strong two-way game. This reputation saw Ergang make his professional debut in ECHL with the Thunder, a franchise he iced for on 13 occasions registering 9 points (6G 3A) after completing his academic commitments.

Last season, Ergang posted 21 points (6 goals, 15 assists) in 35 games for the
Bulldogs, finishing second in team assists and third in total points. Across four NCAAseasons, he notched 49 points in 109 appearances, consistently contributing at both ends of the ice.

Before college, Ergang featured in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), racking up an impressive 115 points (42 goals, 73 assists) in 165 games with the Spruce Grove Saints, Okotoks Oilers, and Whitecourt Wolverines.

Head Coach Cam Critchlow shared his thoughts on the signing:

“We’re thrilled to have Kaleb joining the Storm. He’s a highly intelligent player who sees the ice well, creates chances, and puts in a shift every night. On top of that, he brings real character and energy—something that will be a huge asset in the dressing room.”

Ergang becomes the latest addition to what is shaping up to be an exciting Storm roster for the upcoming campaign. Fans can look forward to seeing him hit the ice in Storm colours when the season gets underway later this year.
