Adirondack Thunder head coach Pete MacArthur, shown during the team's training camp last fall at Cool Insuring Arena, has been signed to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
GLENS FALLS — Adirondack Thunder head coach Pete MacArthur on Tuesday signed a two-year contract extension through the 2025-26 ECHL season.
MacArthur, 39, has been the bench boss for the past two seasons and is 75-47-22 overall, making the postseason in both of his years as head coach.
“My family and I are so grateful to continue with this amazing opportunity in Adirondack,” MacArthur said in a team press release. “We look forward to continuing to improve on and off the ice and fight for a Kelly Cup championship with the best fans in the league behind us.”
MacArthur, a native of Clifton Park, has spent more than just his two seasons behind the bench in Glens Falls. He played four seasons for Adirondack and sits third all-time in franchise history with 175 points. He is second all-time in assists with 122, fourth in games played with 202 and sixth all-time in goals with 53. MacArthur was also team captain for three of his seasons of the Thunder.

“We are thrilled to be able to extend Pete’s contract,” Thunder team president Jeff Mead said in the press release. “He has proven in just two years that he is the right leader for our organization. We have seen amazing success on the ice, including 17 sellouts last season. We look forward to continuing our quest for the Kelly Cup under Pete’s leadership.”
Prior to his time as the Thunder head coach, MacArthur played professionally for 14 seasons. The majority of that time spent was spent in the AHL and ECHL. MacArthur also played two seasons in Germany, two seasons in Austria and a year in Italy.
