According to a press release by the EPHL, the Brooklyn Aces have waived forwards Sean Walsh and Derek Kern, in a move to create roster room for recently activated forward Tony Resendes and defenseman Andrew Scampoli.
Brought in for the team’s last homestand, Walsh was a gritty presence, but couldn’t find his way on the scoresheet, going scoreless in three games. He was also a -4.
In seven games this season with Brooklyn, Kern was a solid-two-way contributor, scoring five points and accumulating 24 minutes in penalties.
Not only is Brooklyn Aces forward C.J. Tozzo one of the team’s best grinders, penalty killers and snipers, he’s also the team’s captain. Scoring 62 points in just 35 games this season, Tozzo has done everything to keep the Aces above water and despite their recent struggles and injuries to crucial players, Tozzo is still producing offensively and doing all the things a good captain should.
