CYCLONES DEAL PHILLIPS TO BRAMPTON

Cincinnati Receives Future Considerations in Return

Cincinnati, OH- The Cincinnati Cyclones have traded goaltender Jamie Phillips to the Brampton Beast, in exchange for Future Considerations. 

Signed to a Standard Player Contract (SPC) in late January, Phillips skated in seven games with the Cyclones and has a record of 4-3-0-0, along with a 3.18 goals-against average and an .882 save percentage. He has won each of his last four starts and has allowed two or fewer goals in three of them, including stopping all 11 shots he faced in a 3-0 shutout on February 21.  

Phillips spent 24 games with the Coventry Blaze of the EIHL (Elite Ice Hockey League) in England earlier this season, where he turned out a 12-12-0-0 record, along with a 3.27 GAA and an .875 SV%.

Drafted by the Winnipeg Jets in the seventh round of the 2012 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft, Phillips split the 2018-19 season between the Florida Everblades and Reading Royals, accounting for a mark of 27-11-2-1, and was tied for seventh in the ECHL with a 2.51 GAA and had a .908 SV%. He spent his final 12 games with the Royals, allowing three or fewer goals in 11 of those contests, and he ended the season on a six-game winning streak.

He has also seen ECHL time with the Jacksonville IceMen and Tulsa Oilers, and has an overall ECHL mark of 49-32-5-1, along with a 2.70 GAA and a .907 SV%. The Caledonia, ON, native has also seen time with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL), appearing in 27 games from 2016-18. He has an AHL record of 8-11-3, to go along with a 2.84 GAA and a .909 SV%. 

Prior to turning pro in 2016, Phillips enjoyed a successful collegiate career at Michigan Tech University. While with the Huskies, he earned a 57-26-8 record to accompany a 2.00 GAA and a .922 SV% across 99 career games. His best season came during his junior year of 2014-15, where he led all NCAA goaltenders with 41 games started, and second nationally in both wins (28) and shutouts (8). He was also a finalist for the Mike Richter Award, which is given to the top collegiate goaltender.
