CINCINNATI, Ohio – The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL's Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced today that they have acquired the rights to defenseman Alex Velischek and forward Ross Ring-Jarvi to complete a "future considerations" trade with the Missouri Mavericks.

In six games this year, the six-foot, 200 pound rear guard has notched a single assist and eight penalty minutes. A year ago, he posted 11 points (4g, 7a) in 36 games for the Arizona Sundogs (CHL).

His father, Randy, played a total of 509 NHL games for the New Jersey Devils and and Minnesota North Stars during the 1980's.
Ring-Jarvi helped guide the Alaska Aces to the 2014 Kelly Cup, totaling 24 points in 51 regular season games and a goal in seven postseason games. He was a four year letter winner at Gustavus Adolphus College, where he amassed 130 points in 115 games and was team captain during his senior season.
