Dayton Bombers News Release
The Dayton Bombers Professional Hockey Team has announced that it has acquired defenseman Kyle Kos, a second round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, from the Arkansas RiverBlades in a three-way deal.
The Bombers traded forward Andrew Williamson to the Southern Conference's Augusta Lynx for defensemen Phillippe Lakos and Gary Toor, then dealt them to Arkansas for defenseman Kos.
Kos, who played four seasons in the Western Hockey League (three with the Red Deer Rebels), had three goals, nine assists, and 83 penalty minutes in 23 games played with the RiverBlades earlier this season.
"Kos is a big, mobile, strong defenseman who will help us. Defense was a core strength of our team's success last season. We feel the additions of (Jason) Crain, (Chris) Wismer, and Kos will enhance our depth at that position," said Greg Ireland, Bombers' Head Coach/G.M. of Hockey Operations.
Kos has played 111 games at a higher level in his career, with stints in the now-defunct International Hockey League in 1999-2000 (Utah Grizzlies, Detroit Vipers) and 2000-2001 (Detroit Vipers), in addition to the American Hockey League (Springfield Falcons) in 2001-2002.
