Chad Costello Wins Third Straight ECHL Scoring Title
(Allen Americans)
Allen, Texas -Allen Americans forward, and last season's league MVP, Chad Costello has won the ECHL Scoring Title for the third season in a row.
Costello wrapped up the year with 122 points, his second best season ever as a pro, finishing three points shy of his career high of 125 set in the 2014-2015 season. He had a career high in assists this year with 89.
"Winning the scoring title means you have great players around you," said Costello. "I feel fortunate to be healthy and play for the best coach in hockey. It's nice to be recognized by the league, but to be honest we're heading into the postseason with one goal in mind and that's keeping the Kelly Cup in Allen. I know we have a tough challenge ahead, but in the room we believe that we have all key people in place to make another long playoff run."
Costello hit a milestone yesterday, notching his 700th career point. In three years with the Americans, he put up seasons of 125 points, 103 points and 122 points this year. The native of Johnston, Iowa began his pro career in Texas with the now defunct Texas Wildcatters of the ECHL back in 2007-2008.
The Americans begin the postseason on Wednesday night at home against the Utah Grizzlies at 7:05 PM. Call 972-912-1000 for ticket information. Below is the complete Round 1 Playoff Schedule.
