On the EPHL’s very first trading deadline day, the Brooklyn Aces made the moves they felt necessary in order to ensure a championship.
According to a source within the organization, the team has released Brent Ozarowski and Joe Lovell, two players that could not perform in the playoffs due to the fact that they played less than five games in the regular season.
In one game with Brooklyn, Ozarowski marveled on a line with Kyle McCullough and C.J. Tozzo, scoring three points. Lovell was also steady in his time with the team, scoring three points in three games.
After leaving the team’s last home game after the first period, due to a coach’s decision, Mike Thomson, who was third on the team with 52 points, was placed on team suspension. [Edit, EPHL Press Release 10:54 P.M.]
No other information regarding this situation is currently known at the time.
The team also traded recently acquired enforcer Joe Pelle, who had 12 PIM in two games with the team, for hulking defenseman Bill Horton.
In 37 games with the Danbury Mad Hatters and Hudson Valley Bears, the 6′2, 240 pound Horton has three goals and nine points.
“Joe Pelle was a great addition for us, but we felt he wasn’t going to be around enough for us because he’s a part time player,” said Aces head coach Chris Firriolo just minutes ago on the phone. “We like Horton’s size a lot.”
The team also resigned forward Edie Chlanda, who was put on waivers on February 4. In five games with Brooklyn this season, Chlanda has five points.
