Cyclones Agree to Terms with Fensel

CINCINNATI, Ohio – The Cincinnati Cyclones, ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators, announced this morning they have agreed to terms with rookie defenseman Shawn Fensel.

Fensel, 22, closed out his collegiate career at St. Lawrence last season, appearing in 36 games and netting four goals and 16 assists for 20 points. He was whistled for just eleven penalties through the campaign as the Saints went 21-12-5 during the year.

The five-foot-nine, 200 pound native of Nepean, ON, played four seasons at St. Lawrence—serving the last two years as assistant captain. Fensel played in 147 games and had 14 goals and 45 assists for 59 points and 74 penalty minutes. During his collegiate career, Shawn played with former Cyclone Kyle Rank.

“We are looking forward to having Shawn Fensel in camp,” Cyclones Head Coach Chuck Weber said. "Adding a player of this caliber is only going to make training camp that much more competitive for everyone.”
