Colorado Eagles News Release

LOVELAND, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles of the ECHL announced today that forward Chad Costello has been returned from loan by the Springfield Falcons of the AHL. Despite last playing for Colorado on December 23, Costello still ranks as the ECHL's leading scorer with 48 points. He also ranks first with 32 assists and is tied for first with a +19 plus/minus rating.

Costello, who saw limited ice time in four games with the Falcons, had this to say about his return to the Eagles roster: "I can't wait to get back to pulling on an Eagles jersey and playing at the Budweiser Events Center. After spending time in the AHL, I realize even more just how great this Eagles team is, and that we have a lot of very talented players. I'm excited to re-join them and to be a part of what we all hope will be a very successful second half of the season."

The Eagles will host the Utah Grizzlies at the Budweiser Events Center tomorrow night before heading to Bakersfield, Calif. for a pair of games Friday & Saturday. Tickets for Wednesday night's home game -- and all Eagles home games -- can be purchased at www.ComcastTix.com or by calling 1-877-544-TIXX (8499).
