Cincinnati, OH- The Cincinnati Cyclones have signed defenseman  SEAN GILES to a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the 2020-21 season.

Graduating with a Biomedical Engineering degree and a 3.99 GPA, Giles was named the Atlantic Hockey Student-Athlete of the year during his sophomore season and twice received the RMU Men’s Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year as voted on by his teammates.

“I think it’s the dream of every young athlete to play professionally,” said Giles. “I’m very excited for the opportunity with the Cyclones. It has been a long 6 months already without hockey, so I’m really looking forward to getting to Cincinnati and getting to work.”
