The Reading Royals have re-signed defenseman Nick Carabin for the 2025-26 season, the team announced Thursday.
Carabin, 25, is entering his first full professional season after recording an assist in his professional debut and one regular season game played for the Royals last season. The Mahwah, New Jersey native made his professional postseason debut during Reading’s 2025 Kelly Cup Playoff first round series against Trois-Rivières, skating in three games.
The 5-10, 185-pound, right-shot defenseman signed his first professional career contract with Reading on April 9 out of the University of Connecticut where he registered nine points (3 goals, 6 assists), 16 penalty minutes and a +7 rating in 39 games during the 2024-25 season. He also finished fourth among defenseman on the team in points (9) while tying for first among all UConn blue-liners in goals (3).
Carabin totaled 38 points (9 goals, 29 assists) and 82 penalty minutes in 119 NCAA career games between the University of Connecticut and four years at Princeton University, where he was an alternate captain during the 2023-24 season. Prior to his NCAA career, Carabin played one season in the British Columbia Hockey League where he logged 27 points (3 goals, 24 assists) in 58 BCHL career games with the Coquitlam Express (2019-20).
The Royals are an affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
