The Brampton Beast began their season with a rather short bench, just 10 forwards and eight defencemen.
The lack of forwards raised some eyebrows. Where would they find players to fill out the team, with both the Montreal Canadiens and St. John's IceCaps seasons well underway?
That worry quickly faded when the Beast announced this week that they had added Angelo Miceli, a three-time Quebec Major Junior Hockey League 35-goal scorer.
At 21-years-old, the Montreal native had made the move from junior hockey to professional following a very successful junior hockey career with the Victoriaville Tigres, where he managed to score 118 goals and 161 assists good enough for 279 points in 255 games.
