TRENTON — Trenton Devils forward Jeff Prough was a bit surprised when he looked down at his cell phone.

There it was in writing — or in this case a text message — he had been traded in his first professional season just six games into the year with the ECHL’s Gwinnett Gladiators.

The message wasn’t sent from his coach or anyone in the Gwinnett organization, but rather his former college teammate and current T-Devil Chris Poli. The two attended Brown University for four years together and now get to continue playing hockey on the same professional team. And even though Poli has only appeared in eight games this season because of injury, it was still nice for Prough to see a familiar face after being traded.
