The Troops have acquired forward Maurizio Colella from the Hamilton Bulldogs. 

In exchange, the Bulldogs acquire the rights to  defenseman Kyle Locke and a conditional 12th Round pick in 2018.

Colella has 3 goals and 8 points in 37 games this season and plays right wing.

He was drafted by the Belleville Bulls in the 2013 OHL priority selection and stands 6 feet tall and weighs 188 pounds.

Coach Stan Butler says Colella adds depth to the team’s forward group.
