FISHERS- The Fuel have announced on Thursday that they have re-signed forward Anthony Petruzzelli to a standard player contract for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
Petruzzelli, 33, first came to the Fuel during the 2023-24 season in a trade that sent defenseman Kirill Chaika and forward Luc Brown to Jacksonville in exchange for Petruzzelli and Victor Hadfield. That season, the Federal Way, Washington native played 48 games for Indy. He tallied 21 points and 26 penalty minutes.
He also recorded four games for the Guildford Flames of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) that season before playing thirteen games in Jacksonville and scoring six points there.
Prior to that, Petruzzelli played six seasons for the Fort Wayne Komets, serving as captain for his last two. During that time, he was called up to the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League (AHL) during the 2019-20 season, where he played four games.
The 5’10 forward returned to the Komets for the 2024-25 season and subsequently the 2025-26 season, where he once again was named alternate captain. In those two seasons, Petruzzelli recorded 40 points in 117 games. He helped the Komets to the Kelly Cup Playoffs in both years.
