"I am very excited to be joining the Firebirds," Graziano said. "Flint is a great organization which grants me the opportunity to advance my game. I can't wait for things to get started later this month."

SCOUTING REPORT FROM HEAD SCOUT MIKE OLIVERIO
"Graziano is an offensive-minded defenseman and an elite skater with very good acceleration who can cover a lot of real estate quickly. His IQ gives him the ability to find his teammates at the right moment, whether it's a first pass zone exit or creating an offensive opportunity. His anticipation and agility allow him to clog lanes, and intercept passes while on the defensive side."
