CINCINNATI, Ohio - Cincinnati Cyclones third-year right wing Jean-Michel Daoust has been named CCM TACKS ECHL Player of the Month for December. Daoust, 24, posted 20 points during the month to claim the honor. The Cyclones are the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators.

The 5-foot-7, 170 pounder had a league-best 14 goals during the month.
