According to a press release by the EPHL, the Brooklyn Aces have signed forward Joe Lovell.

Spending time time in the UHL, SPHL and CHL over the course of his professional career, Lovell also spent four years at Bentley College and had his best season in 2002-2003, when he scored 11 goals and 33 points in 34 games.

He hasn’t played professional hockey since the 2004-05 season.

When the Brooklyn Aces and Danbury Mad Hatters square off, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s going to be a physical affair.

This time around, it’ll be extra physical.

In the prior three games with Danbury, Brooklyn, despite winning all three, were roughed up physically and were dealing with injuries, which made it even tougher for them in battle in the corners and in front of the net. However, with newly acquired 6′5 D-man Gabe Yeung in the lineup for the first time against Danbury, the Aces just got a whole lot tougher. That’s not to say that Yeung is a talentless goon either. It’s actually quite the opposite, as he’s the stay at home D-man the team was in desperate need of with various injuries to their blueline over the past few weeks. With Yeung’s presence in the neutral zone and the rambunctious play of Chad Wilcox, the days of Brooklyn being pushed around by Danbury may be over.
