FALCONS SIGN CHAD COSTELLO TO PTO CONTRACT

 

Springfield, MA – The Springfield Falcons, proud members of the American Hockey League, announced today that forward Chad Costello has been signed to a Professional Tryout Agreement.  Costello will join the Falcons on Monday as they prepare for a trip to Syracuse, NY on Tuesday.

 

Costello has appeared in 29 games for the ECHL’s Colorado Eagles this season collecting 16 goals and 32 assists for 48 points.  His 48 points not only led the Eagles in scoring, but he also ranked first in the entire ECHL in points heading into this week’s action.

 

Costello led the Central Hockey League’s Tulsa Oilers in scoring during the 2010-11 campaign posting 34 goals and 50 assists for 84 points in only 54 regular season games.  He made his AHL debut as a member of the Lake Erie Monsters last year collecting one assist in eight games.
