Coverage of Brooklyn’s only pro hockey team by Patrick Hickey Jr.
According to a press release by the EPHL, the Brooklyn Aces have signed 24-year-old forward Josh Coyle. A veteran of the ECHL, CHL and SPHL, Coyle played his college hockey at Unionwhere he was a near a point game player for four seasons from 2004-08. His best season at Union was in 2007, when he scored 31 points in 33 games.
In 22 games with the SPHL’s Richmond Renegades this season, Coyle had five goals and five assists.
Anyone who has ever shared the ice with Aces center B.J. Kuper knows that he anchors the team’s energy line for a reason. Energetic, passionate and relentless, not to mention an annoying pest, Kuper knows his job and does it well. However, with 10 goals and 25 points in 22 games this season, Kuper has transformed himself into something much more than a role player and currently ranks among the top two-way players in the league.
Because of his hard-work and multi-faceted play this season, he’s also earned the nickname “Super.” Make no mistake about it, Kuper is the league’s resident super hero.
He can do it all.
Chatting with Aces Over Brooklyn during the team’s last homestand, Kuper talks about the transformation of his game and some of the players he’s played with this season.
