KALAMAZOO, Michigan - The 2010 Kelly Cup Champion Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL's Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced today that they have claimed forward Sam D'Agostino off of waivers.

On February 10, D'Agostino was dealt to the Wheeling Nailers along with Christiaan Minella in exchange for Casey Pierro-Zabotel. While with the Nailers, the Medford, Massachusetts native posted one goal and two penalty minutes in 14 games. He was placed on waivers and claimed by Cincinnati today.

Prior to going pro, D'Agostino played collegiately at UMass-Lowell and UMass-Amherst - collecting four points (3 goals, 1 assist) in 42 games.
