CINCINNATI, Ohio – The 2010 Kelly Cup Champion Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced today that defenseman Carl Hudson has been assigned by the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.
Hudson, a Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario native, is in the midst of his rookie season after a four-year career at Canisius College.

Upon completion of his senior year at Canisius last spring, Hudson appeared with the Rochester Americans in seven regular season games and five Calder Cup Playoff games, collecting one assist and 28 PIMS.
He will be on the ice this Friday when the Cyclones battle the Toledo Walleye at 7:00pm from the Huntington Center.
