According to an EPHL press release, the Brooklyn Aces have waived forward Nate Bostic.
In one game with Brooklyn this season, Bostic registered two penalty minutes.
In other news, it appears that assistant captain Rob Miller’s injury is more seriously than indicated, as Brooklyn has signed 24-year-old blueliner Tom Collingham. A native of Yonkers, Collingham spent four seasons at the University of Vermont. Last season, he played for the Deggendorf Fire in Germany, where he registered 41 points in 54 games.

After playing one game with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL this weekend, Chris Holmes is back with the Brooklyn Aces.
The bigger question however is will the team’s dominant “Three Amigos,” line of Holmes, Jesse Felten and Mike Christensen, be reunited for the team’s next game on Saturday against the second-place Rockhoppers?
“We knew he was going up for just one game and then he was going to come back,” said Aces coach Chris Firriolo via telephone last night. “Now that he’s back, I have no reason to break up that line.”
Nevertheless, Firriolo understands that the way his team is playing offensively, any one of his forwards can get called up at any time. Considering that, he’s prepared to keep his team ahead of the curve by looking for the best players avaiable.
