Cincinnati, OH - The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Buffalo Sabres and the American Hockey League's (AHL) Rochester Americans, have announced defenseman Andrew DeBrincat and forward Alex Roos have been signed to Standard Player Contracts (SPC) for the 2018-19 season.

"I am really excited about the additions of Andrew and Alex to our roster", commented Cyclones head coach Matt Thomas. "They both possess a wide range of skills that fit in nicely with what we're trying to build here, and I look forward to them having an immediate impact for the Cincinnati Cyclones."

A native of Farmington Hills, MI, DeBrincat enters his first full season of professional hockey after spending time late last season with the ECHL's Indy Fuel and South Carolina Stingrays, and the Fayetteville Marksmen of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). He accounted for a goal and four assists in nine games between the three teams. Prior to turning pro, the 25-year-old spent four years at American International College (AIC) where he totaled 51 points (38, 48a) in 146 career games for the Yellow Jackets.

"I am excited for the opportunity, and honored to be a part of such a strong organization," stated DeBrincat. "I have heard nothing but great things about the organization, the city of Cincinnati, and the ECHL as a whole, and I'm looking forward to a great season."

Hailing from Prairie Grove, IL, Roos just wrapped up a successful four-year collegiate career, splitting his time between the University of Michigan and Colorado College. In 118 collegiate games between the Wolverines and Tigers, Roos accounted for 18 goals and 16 assists. He suited up for the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League (USHL) from 2011-13, amassing 69 points (34g, 35a) in 89 career games.

"I am extremely excited to begin my professional career in Cincinnati," said Roos. "I've heard great things about the city and fans and can't wait to get the season started."
