A veteran of over 700 professional games, Brooklyn Aces defenseman Dan Carney was brought aboard by Aces head coach and general manager Chris Firriolo, who felt the team could use a jolt of veteran leadership for their playoff push. A stay at home defenseman by trade, Carney is a smart player that makes the players around him better.
In six games with the Aces, Carney has done just that and has nabbed two assists in the process.
Playing his college hockey at Colorado College and spending time in the WPHL, BISL, BNL, CHL, UHL and IHL over the past 17 years, Carney is a leader that can help guide the Aces to the first championship in EPHL history.
In this interview with Aces Over Brooklyn, Carney talks about his game and what it feels like to be a part of the Aces.

A veteran of the ECHL, CHL, UHL and IHL with 13 seasons of pro experience to his credit, Carney arrives with the Aces blue line dealing with injuries to steady two-way defensemen Rob Miller and Nick Grove. Solid in both ends of the ice, Carney had his best pro season in 2003-2004 with the ECHL’s Roanoke Express, where he scored 14 goals and 37 points in 70 games.
