Delaware Thunder

The Delaware Thunder was an American professional ice hockey team based in , that competed in the (FPHL) from 2019 to 2023. Founded as an expansion franchise, the team played its home games at the Centre Ice Arena, a 700-seat venue constructed in 2002 at the Delaware State Fairgrounds. The Thunder participated in three seasons (2019–20, 2021–22, and 2022–23), taking a hiatus during the 2020–21 campaign due to the , and did not qualify for the playoffs in any of those years. The team's operations faced challenges stemming from facility issues, as the Delaware State Fair revoked its lease at the Centre Ice Rink following the 2022–23 season, leaving the Thunder without a home venue. In response, the organization announced dormancy for the 2023–24 season to prioritize the development of the Dover Civic Arena Project, a proposed multi-purpose facility at Schutte Park in Dover, Delaware, estimated to cost over $8 million and take at least two years to complete. However, the FPHL terminated the team's charter in June 2024 due to unpaid dormant fees. Led by CEO and President Charles F. Pens Sr., the Thunder aimed to leverage its established fan base and corporate support in the region to secure the new arena, which would host hockey games, skating, trade shows, and other events, though the project has stalled without construction as of 2025 and has not resulted in the team's resumption of play. During its active years, the Delaware Thunder contributed to growing interest in , a state without higher-level teams in major leagues like the NHL or , by providing affordable, community-oriented entertainment. The franchise's struggles on the ice, including a 9–43–4 record in its final 2022–23 season, highlighted the competitive nature of the FPHL, a league focused on developing prospects for higher levels of play. As of November 2025, the franchise remains inactive, with its former home arena having closed in May 2025, marking the end of an era for in central .

History

Formation and inaugural season (2019–20)

On May 29, 2019, Delaware Pro Hockey LLC announced the formation of the Delaware Thunder as the state's first professional ice hockey team and a new expansion franchise in the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL), placing it in the Empire Division. The organization was owned by Delaware Pro Hockey LLC, an investment group led by Charles F. Pens Sr., who served as the team's president and general manager. To accommodate professional play at the Centre Ice Rink in Harrington, the arena underwent an expansion that increased its seating capacity to approximately 700, doubling the previous setup and making it the smallest venue in the league. The Thunder began building their inaugural roster shortly after the announcement, with forward Ryan Marker becoming the first player signed to the team on June 4, 2019. Marker, a native of , and formerly with the Danville Dashers, was brought in by Pens to provide offensive firepower as the franchise prepared for its debut. The 2019–20 season marked the Thunder's entry into competitive play, starting in late October 2019 with a schedule of 45 games. The team finished with a record of 13 wins, 31 losses, and 1 overtime loss, accumulating 39 points for a .300 , while scoring 165 goals and allowing 206. However, the season was cut short on March 12, 2020, when the Thunder suspended operations due to the , aligning with the FPHL's cancellation of the remaining schedule and playoffs on March 16; the franchise was subsequently placed on hiatus for the 2020–21 season.

2021–23 seasons

The Delaware Thunder returned to action in the (FPHL) for the 2021–22 season after sitting out the 2020–21 campaign due to the . Led by head coach Lou Santini, the team endured a challenging year, compiling a record of 9–42–1–1 across 53 games for 26 points and a of 0.189. They scored 175 goals while conceding 301, finishing in last place in the seven-team league and missing the . The struggles persisted into the 2022–23 season, with Santini remaining at the helm as both and . The Thunder posted a 9–43–2–2 mark in 56 games, earning 29 points and a 0.196 , again failing to reach the postseason. Offensively, they tallied 166 goals against 311 allowed, underscoring defensive vulnerabilities that plagued the franchise. One of the season's most infamous sequences was a 28-game spanning November 5, 2022, to February 11, 2023, which established a new professional hockey record for consecutive defeats. This skid exemplified the Thunder's broader on-ice woes during the period. Throughout both seasons, the team grappled with persistent attendance and financial challenges that hampered operations and roster stability, directly fueling their bottom finishes in the standings. Late in 2022–23, emerging lease disputes at their home venue compounded these pressures.

Dormancy and termination (2023–present)

On June 19, 2023, the Delaware Thunder announced their dormancy for the 2023–24 season, citing the failure to renew their lease at the Centre Ice Rink on the Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington following unsuccessful negotiations earlier that year. This decision came amid ongoing on-ice challenges from prior seasons, including poor performance and roster instability, which had already strained operations. In response to the venue loss, the franchise initially pursued relocation to the proposed Civic Arena, a multi-use announced in July 2023 near the Kent County Turf Complex, intended to serve as the team's new home and boost local . However, the project stalled due to funding shortages and feasibility concerns, with no construction progress by late despite community support. Compounding these issues, the (FPHL) terminated the Thunder's franchise charter, severing its official affiliation with the league. No games have been played by the team since the end of the 2022–23 season. The situation worsened in 2025 when the State Fair announced the permanent closure of the Centre effective May 18, 2025, due to rising operational costs and mechanical failures, eliminating the franchise's original home venue entirely. This left and counties without indoor ice facilities, prompting renewed revival efforts. In January 2025, competing proposals emerged for a new Dover , including the revived Dover Civic Arena plan in Schutte Park, explicitly positioned as a potential return site for the Thunder to restore professional in the capital. By September 2025, the nonprofit Miracle Ice Arena launched a $2 million campaign, including events like Rinktoberfest, to build a southern facility for youth , , and public programs, with community discussions highlighting possibilities for a professional team's resurgence. As of November 2025, the Delaware Thunder remains defunct, with no active operations or league reinstatement.

Home arena

Centre Ice Rink

The Centre Ice Rink is a multi-purpose facility located at 644 Fairgrounds Road within the Delaware State Fairgrounds in . Primarily designed for ice skating and community events, it opened in 2002 and served as a seasonal venue, operating from mid-August to mid-June before converting to other uses during the summer fair season. Originally built with a smaller seating arrangement, the rink underwent an expansion in to increase its seating capacity to approximately 700 seats to comply with (FPHL) standards for professional play. This upgrade enabled the facility to host while accommodating other activities. The rink served as the exclusive home venue for all Delaware Thunder home games from the team's inaugural 2019–20 season through the 2022–23 season, with the standard professional rink surface measuring 200 feet by 85 feet. The team's expired at the end of , contributing to the franchise's dormancy. Managed by the Delaware State Fair, the facility offered basic amenities including a small serving items like hot dogs, hamburgers, pretzels, , Pepsi products, and during Thunder games, along with a pro shop for team merchandise and skating equipment. However, it lacked advanced modern features such as luxury suites or extensive spectator comforts typical of larger arenas. In January 2025, the State Fair announced the permanent closure of the Centre Ice Rink, which occurred on May 18, 2025, citing unsustainable operational costs as the primary reason. The rink's final day of operation was May 18, 2025, after which local programs were forced to relocate to facilities in northern or , affecting over 700 youth athletes. This closure eliminated any prospects for a short-term revival of activities there. The decision was approved by a majority of the fair's , impacting local programs and teams beyond hockey.

Proposed facilities

Following the Delaware Thunder's loss of its lease at the Centre in Harrington after the 2022–23 season and the rink's subsequent permanent closure in May 2025, several proposals emerged in 2023 and 2025 to develop new facilities aimed at reviving ice sports in central and southern , including potential professional . The Dover Civic Arena , initially proposed in July 2023 by the Delaware Thunder organization, envisions a multi-use facility on city-owned land near the Turf Complex in . Designed to seat up to 2,500 spectators, the arena would feature an suitable for professional , along with a pub and gym to support year-round community programming and . A completed by the Dover Civic Arena Group in April 2025 indicated strong profitability potential through event hosting and partnerships, projecting viability for operations in the Dover market. However, the has encountered delays, with initial estimates of $10-20 million reliant on a mix of public and private sources that remain unsecured, leaving design and contractor preparations in limbo as of November 2025. In January 2025, a competing proposal surfaced from a local community group in , focusing on a smaller-scale intended to support the revival of the former Thunder and programs. This initiative, estimated at $8-10 million by architects HTG, would accommodate approximately 200 seats and prioritize basic ice maintenance over large-scale events, though details on exact , , and timeline remain limited. Further south, the Miracle Ice Arena initiative, launched in September 2025 by a newly formed nonprofit, seeks to raise $2 million through and events to construct a two-rink facility in or counties dedicated to ice sports, including youth , , and opportunities for professional teams like a revived Thunder. The project emphasizes community access with programs for over 700 young athletes affected by prior rink closures, aiming for one rink to open by fall 2026, but lacks confirmed site details or secured land. As of November 2025, all three proposals remain stalled without construction underway, hampered by financial shortfalls, zoning hurdles in and southern counties, and competition among groups for limited state tourism grants and local support.

Players and personnel

Notable players

Ryan Marker stands as the Delaware Thunder's all-time points leader, accumulating 156 points (75 goals and 81 assists) over three seasons from 2019 to 2023. As the franchise's top goal scorer, Marker was a consistent offensive force, leading the team in scoring during each of his campaigns, including a league-high 95 points in the 2021–22 season. His scoring prowess provided a bright spot amid the team's challenges, exemplifying loyalty as he returned for multiple stints despite roster turnover. Among top goal scorers, Denis Gafarov tallied 28 goals in 53 games, while Anton Kalinin recorded 25 goals in 32 appearances, and Alexandre Soucy contributed 19 goals across 39 games. Yevgeni Dyomin ranked second on the team in assists with 34 helpers en route to 47 points in 43 games, supporting the Thunder's attack with playmaking ability. Danila Milushkin added 18 goals in 38 games, rounding out a core of forwards who drove much of the team's production. On defense, Alex Basey distinguished himself as a physical presence, logging 489 penalty minutes over 83 games while contributing 31 points (4 goals, 27 assists). In net, Taylor appeared in 40 games during the 2019–20 season, posting 12 wins and a .902 save percentage to anchor the young franchise. These players exemplified local impact and commitment at the FPHL level, with no Thunder alumni noted for advancing to higher professional leagues like the amid the team's operational struggles.

Coaching staff

The Delaware Thunder's coaching and management structure was typical of small-market (FPHL) teams, emphasizing operational efficiency with a compact staff focused on player development and community engagement. Charles F. Pens Sr. founded the franchise through Delaware Pro Hockey LLC and served as and from its inception in 2019 until the team's dormancy after the 2022–23 season; he also acted as head coach during the inaugural 2019–20 campaign. Lou Santini began with the Thunder as associate head coach in 2019–20 before ascending to head coach for the 2021–22 season, where the team prioritized foundational growth despite challenging results; he later shifted to general manager in 2022–23 while retaining a coaching role. In December 2022, Brian Verbeek was hired as to instill a culture of hard work and talent cultivation, joining Santini on the bench. Assistant coaches and athletic trainers formed a lean support team, with details on these roles sparsely documented in , aligning with the league's resource constraints for franchises. Pens' dual responsibilities in ownership and coaching were pivotal to the team's launch and early stability. Santini's extended tenure, spanning multiple capacities, coincided with the franchise's 28-game in 2022–23—tied for the longest in professional (as of February 2025)—but underscored efforts to nurture emerging local players amid adversity. The Thunder's termination by the league in June 2024 has precluded any significant staff alterations.
