CINCINNATI, Ohio – The 2010 Kelly Cup Champion Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced today that team captain Barret Ehgoetz and former Cyclones captain Chad Starling were named to the ECHL All-Decade Team.
Now in his sixth season in the ECHL, Ehgoetz has amassed 271 points…241 of them with the Cyclones. His name is all over the Cyclones franchise record books, as he holds the all-time lead in points (241), games played (280), shots (710), and shorthanded goals (9). In 2009-10, Ehgoetz was named as the ECHL Sportsmanship Award winner as voted on by the league's coaches. He scored 47 points (18 goals, 29 assists) in 74 Kelly Cup Playoff games during the decade and also played in the 2009 ECHL All-Star Game, tallying two assists. All but one of his professional seasons have been spent in Cincinnati.
