The Cardiff Devils have today announced they have signed Canadian forward Marc Fulton.
Devils coach Gerad Adams has moved quickly to find a replacement import forward to complete his roster in the shape of 25-year old Fulton.
“Marc has only played one year professional and he scored 25 points last year playing for the Texas Wildcatters,” Adams said.
“It seems like he’s going to be a really good fit. He’s played college hockey and it sounds like this kid is a hard worker who can shoot the puck so I’m excited to get him in.”
Vancouver-born Fulton played last season in Texas alongside Devils netminder Peter Aubry, who helped Adams find his man.
Fulton (6ft 1ins, 200lbs) started this season with the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings before being released and agreeing to move to Cardiff.
“Marc’s a talented player and we’re lucky to have him,” Adams added.
“Marc leaving Victoria is similar to how we were able to sign Tyson Teplitsky again. Both players have the ability to play in different leagues, but sometimes things just don’t work out there. We’re glad to have a young player come in like Marc, who has a lot of hunger and the desire to prove himself.”
Fulton’s move from the Salmon Kings came after an increasing number of AHL and NHL contracted players were assigned to Victoria.
“Marc has a great shot, is a smart hockey player with a good all round game,” continued Adams.
“He’s not flashy but will be a nice addition to what we are building here in Cardiff plus he’s good friends with Peter Aubry.”
The Devils are currently completing the work permit application process for Fulton, who played four years of college hockey for Colgate University in upstate New York.
