CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators, announced this afternoon they have signed defenseman Cullen Eddy to a Standard Player Contract. Eddy had previously been on an ECHL Tryout Agreement-which expired today.

Eddy, 21, finished his collegiate career at Mercyhurst College in mid-March. A four-year letterwinner at Mercyhurst, he appeared in 144 career games with nine goals and 40 assists for 49 points and 322 penalty minutes. Cullen helped steer the school to a 15-20-3 record this season and a fourth place finish (of ten teams) in Atlantic Hockey. He had a pair of assists in an 8-2 win over American International on November 27.

The six-foot-one, 205 pound native of Hidden Valley, PA, was a part of two squads that advanced to the Atlantic Hockey championship game.
