When Brooklyn Aces leading scorer James Brannigan was called up to the Utah Grizzles of the ECHL late last December, the team knew they needed a replacement- and fast. Enter Josh Coyle, who just wrapped up a successful amateur career at Union College the year before and already had a few games of ECHL experience under his belt.
Scoring four points through his first four games with Brooklyn, it appeared the team had something going with Coyle, but soon after, he was put on waivers and claimed by the Hudson Valley Bears, where he scored 10 goals and 19 points in just 10 games. Coyle didn’t have much staying power there either, as he ended up finishing the season with the Columbus Cottonmouths of the SPHL, scoring three points in six games, including five in the post-season.
While it’s easy to assume Coyle may not have been the easiest guy to get along with because of how many teams he played with this season, his instability had more to do with the problems of the league and his ability to be an effective two-way player than his attitude. Funny and charming, Coyle was easily one of the most entertaining interviews in the league.
