From Reading Royals
The Reading Royals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced that defenseman Nick Carabin has been re-signed to an ECHL contract for the 2025-26 season.
Carabin, 25, is entering his first full professional season after recording an assist in his professional debut and playing one regular-season game for the Royals in the 2024-25 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.
“I am excited to be coming back,” stated Carabin. “We have a great year ahead of us. I can’t wait to see all the fans on Nov. 8 at Santander Arena.”
“Nick skates really well and has good poise with the puck,” stated Anthony Peters, Head Coach & General Manager. “He had a small taste last year and played meaningful games for the team. We look forward to seeing what he can come in and do this year.”
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 (NCAA), where he registered nine points (3g-6a), 16 penalty minutes, and a +7 rating in 39 games during the 2024-25 campaign. 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 (9g-29a) and 82 penalty minutes in 119 NCAA career games between the University of Connecticut and four years at Princeton University (NCAA), 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 (BCHL), where he logged 27 points (3g-24a) in 58 BCHL career games with the Coquitlam Express (2019-20).
