Fife Flyers Ice Hockey Club are delighted to announce the addition of Canadian Noah Delmas to the defensive core.
The 28-year-old right shot defenceman played three seasons in Junior A with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Aurora Tigers which saw him team up with other recent signing Jonny Curran for the first time.
Noah’s final season there also saw him play in the United States Hockey League with the Bloomington Thunder in a year that saw former Flyer Christian Hausinger ice for them. The following season Noah decided to continue his education and headed back to school spending 4 seasons at Niagara University in the NCAA where he again teamed up with Curran. In each of those seasons the Nobleton Ontario native led all blueliners in points which led to him breaking Niagara University’s assists and points records for a defenseman as well as becoming the first player to hit the 100 points mark during his time there. In his senior year Noah also wore the ‘C’ for the Purple Eagles.
Having been invited to multiple NHL Development Camps, including the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Carolina Hurricanes, Noah turned professional during the 20/21 pandemic season when he signed with the Kansas City Mavericks in the ECHL teaming up briefly with former Flyer Kamerin Nault. Following his rookie season he joined the Manchester Storm midway through the 21/22 season from Kansas City playing 18 games in the EIHL, 3 of which against the Flyers. The 22/23 season saw Noah head back to the ECHL with the Worcester Railers before spending last season with GKS Katowice in the Polish league tallying 23 points across 64 games in League, Post Season and Continental Cup action.
On the signing of Noah Delmas Coach Tom Coolen commented ‘Noah Delmas is a solid skating defender who plays a well rounded two way game. He logged top minutes with GKS Katowice last season and will play in all situations for our team.’
On signing Noah added ‘After speaking with coach I knew Fife would be a team I’d enjoy playing for. I’m excited for the opportunity and I’m thrilled to be a Flyer’
