Cincinnati Cyclones News Release


CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones announced today that they have agreed to terms with defenseman Jamie Coghlan. The Cyclones are the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators.

Coghlan, 25, enters his second season as a professional after splitting last season between Fresno and Cincinnati. Starting the season with Fresno, Jamie played in twelve games and had an assist and nine penalty minutes for the Pacific Division leaders. When the Falcons folded on December 22, he signed as a free agent with Cincinnati. He appeared in 41 games with the Cyclones, netting a goal and four assists for five points and 43 penalty minutes. His +11 plus/minus rating was fifth-best on the club and second-best among Cincinnati rearguards.

The six-foot-three, 195 pounder from Toronto earned three varsity letters at Mercyhurst College, appearing in 81 games during his career and collecting three goals and six assists for nine points and 76 penalty minutes.

"Jamie Coghlan was a welcomed addition to our hockey club a year ago. He was a stabilizing force on our blueline and contributed to our success with his style of play. We look for more of the same this season."

Tickets for the 2009-10 Cincinnati Cyclones season are now on sale. The Cyclones Sales Department can be reached at 513-421-PUCK, extension 3. The Cyclones open the season at Elmira on Friday, October 16 and after three road games, host their home opener at U.S. Bank Arena against Wheeling on Saturday, October 24 at 7:30pm. There will be a special divisional championship banner raising ceremony prior to that game.
