Anthony Maiani To Play For ECHL Colorado Eagles

The Colorado Eagles are bringing Anthony Maiani back to Colorado.

Maiani, a former standout at the University of Denver, was acquired Tuesday from the Wheeling Nailers in exchange for future considerations. Maiani becomes the first player on Colorado's roster who didn't play with the team last season.

A native of Shelby Township, Mich., Maiani spent the past four seasons at DU. He had 126 points (34 goals, 92 assists) in 158 career games for the Pioneers, his best season coming in 2008-09 when he had 41 points in 40 games.

Maiani signed with Wheeling after graduating from DU and played in one regular season game and three postseason games.

12:11 - you must have witnessed that goal Maiani scored against the Sioux in the semi-finals of the WCHA playoffs a few years ago. He made Finley look like a pylon and got off one of the sweetest backhands I've ever seen to win the game with about 1:20 left in the 3rd. Tony is money.
