CINCINNATI, OH – Cyclones defenseman Josh Burnside will take the ice for the first time this season tonight against the Indy Fuel. The 28-year-old is yet another returner from last year’s Central Division championship team.
The Brampton, Ontario native has been a steady presence on the Cincinnati blue line the past two seasons suiting up for 90 games. During that stretch, Burnside recorded 21 points (3g, 18a) and a plus/minus of +17.
Head coach Jason Payne says Burnside has “always put in the work to get better and build on his game.”
A left-shooting defenseman, Burnside also logged 15 ECHL games with the Allen Americans and 13 contests with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. Prior to turning pro, Josh skated in over 100 games for Carleton University (12g, 50a).
The 28-year-old served as captain for the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL and wore an “A” for two separate seasons. At the junior level, Josh nabbed 53 goals and 154 points throughout his tenure in the Ontario Hockey League.
“Cincinnati has such a huge fan base and it’s awesome to play in front of them.”
