BILOXI, Miss. � Bob Woods, Coach and Director of Hockey Operations of the Mississippi Sea Wolves announced today that left wing Tom Rouleau (REW-loh) has been traded to the Cincinnati Cyclones for futures.
Rouleau, 25, played in three games with the Sea Wolves this season, accumulating four penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin was acquired in a trade with the Reading Royals on August 11. Rouleau is in his second season of professional hockey.
�We were forced to make a move after Sergei Kuznetsov re-signed,� said Woods. �It�s a good situation for Tom. Cincinnati is looking for a big forward and he�s going to get more ice time there.�
The Sea Wolves play two home games this weekend. On Saturday at 7:35 p.m., Mississippi hosts the Columbus Cottonmouths at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Promotions include $2 hotdogs and $2 beers from 6:30-8:30 p.m., mini hockey sticks giveaway, plus the Gulf Coast Youth Hockey Association will be holding a �Shirt off Our Back� Jersey Raffle.
