Cincinnati Cyclones News Release


CINCINNATI, Ohio - The 2008 Kelly Cup champion Cincinnati Cyclones, announced today that they have placed defenseman Conrad Martin on the club's suspended list and traded forward Michael Cohen. The Cyclones are the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators.

Martin, 26, quit the team on Monday morning. Conrad will be heading to Austria to play hockey. He has been placed on the Cyclones suspended list and his rights are maintained by the club. He will be unable to play hockey for any other North American professional hockey team while under suspension. He is the sixth player to have been placed on the suspended list this season.

The six-foot-one, 195 pound native of Toronto, Ontario appeared in 23 games with the Cyclones this season and had four assists and 28 penalty minutes.

"It's unfortunate that this has happened," Cyclones Head Coach Chuck Weber said. "We can't compete with the economics of the offers that come from teams in Europe. It is frustrating to watch players leave, but we will continue to press forward and field the best team that we can."

In other news, forward Michael Cohen has been traded to the Phoenix Roadrunners to complete the trade for Tom Sawatske that was executed on October 28. Cohen becomes the 'future considerations' in that trade. Michael netted eleven goals and seven assists for 18 points in 31 games with Cincinnati this season.
