I'm attempting to build a non blocking async call in an Ember.js app without using Ember Data.

I have the following Ember.js model:

App.Player = Ember.Object.extend({
    id: '',
    alias: '',
    name: '',
    twitterUserName: '',
    isFeatured: ''
});

App.Player.reopenClass({
    getPlayers: function () {
        var players = Ember.ArrayProxy.create({ content: [] });
        $.getJSON("/api/players").then(function (response) {
            response.forEach(function (p) {
                players.pushObject(App.Player.create(p));
            });
        });
        return players;
    }
});

And I am calling it as follows in my route:

App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function (params) {
        return App.Player.getPlayers();
    }
});

For some reason I am getting the following javascript error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'forEach'

I've tried a few variants I have seen around but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated...

EDIT - Found the solution with some help from Darshan, here's the working code:

App.Player.reopenClass({
    getPlayers: function () {
        var players = [];
        $.ajax({
            url: "/api/players",
        }).then(function (response) {
            response.players.forEach(function (player) {
                var model = App.Player.create(player);
                players.addObject(model);
            });
        });
        return players;
    }
});
