Yesterday, the Solar Bears announced that they have signed last season’s captain Tyler Bird and Orlando Solar Bears all-time leading goal scorer Aaron Luchuk for the 2026-27 season.
The month of December marks the unofficial start to the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) trade deadline season. In 2017, it became a month the Windsor Spitfires will never forget as they said goodbye to a captain.
The Orlando Solar Bears announced that veteran forward Aaron Luchuk will return for the 2025–26 ECHL season, bringing back one of the league’s most consistent point producers and a player with a decorated hockey résumé.
The season-ending rosters will include up to 20 players and can’t include anybody who didn’t sign an ECHL Contract in the 23-24 season. The Orlando Solar Bears announced that 12 forwards, six defensemen, and two goalies made the roster.
