Cincinnati, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud ECHL affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs, today announced the signing of forward Lincoln Griffin ahead of the 2025-26 season. Griffin returns for his fifth season with the Cyclones after a career season in 2024-25.

Griffin, 28, rejoins the Cyclones after a career-high 52 points the previous year. The Walpole, Mass. native led Cincinnati in points with 25 goals and 27 assists, leading the team in both categories (T-1 in goals with defenseman Chas Sharpe). In addition, Griffin led the team in powerplay goals (six) and shorthanded goals (three) last season after appearing in a personal best 70 games.

"Consistency is one of those things that is extremely important yet difficult to find in a league that changes almost daily," said Cyclones Head Coach Riley Weselowski. "Lincoln has been one of those consistencies for the Cincinnati Cyclones over the past four seasons. A relentless worker with a big offensive upside, he is right in the middle of his prime years as a hockey player."

"Lincoln takes great pride in the way that he competes, is effective on both sides of the puck, and is hungry to win in Cincinnati. I fully believe that he will take another step this year and the 2025-26 season will be the best of his career." Weselowski added.

Across his seven seasons post-college hockey, Griffin has appeared in games for three ECHL franchises, including Greenville, Worcester, and Cincinnati. He was selected to the 2023 ECHL Midseason All-Star Game where he won fastest skater in the Skills Competition. Coming into this season, Griffin is tied with current Assistant Coach, Louie Caporusso, for most points by a Cyclone since 2021-22 (166PTS).
