Cincinnati Cyclones News Release

CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators, announced this afternoon they have had forward Chris Mueller returned. He had been with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals.

Mueller, 23, spent the majority of last season (his rookie campaign) with Lake Erie (AHL) where he collected five goals and eleven assists in 16 games. He launched the year with Johnstown (ECHL), collecting six points on three goals and three assists in just three games.

The five-foot-ten, 190 pound native of West Seneca, NY, played his collegiate hockey at Michigan State where he earned four varsity letters and was a member of the 2006-07 NCAA championship winning team. Mueller played 166 games with the Spartans and tallied 42 goals and 62 assists for 104 career points. Chris scored the insurance marker in the final seconds of Michigan State's 3-1 win over Boston College in the NCAA title game on April 7, 2007.

He was signed by the Cyclones on September 22 and went to training camp with Milwaukee. He was with the club through the start of the AHL's regular season but did not play in any games with the Admirals.

The Cyclones currently have 28 players in camp and will prepare for their season opening game on Friday night (Oct. 16) at Elmira. The game will be carried on 1530-AM The Sports Animal with a 7pm air time.

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.
