Defenseman Aaron Titcomb is taking on an increased role with the Nailers in his second professional season.
"I think I ended the season on a high with coach (Mike) Bavis, he said he really wanted me back," Titcomb told me of returning to the Nailers this season. "So we made it work and I'm very lucky to be back here, I'm very fortunate. I love the community, I love the guys here, the coaching staff, it's been good all around, I'm excited."
When the Nailers re-signed Titcomb this summer, Bavis described the 6-foot-4, 215-pound defenseman as a "big, strong, versatile defenseman who added a lot of composure to his game last season," and added that he was looking forward to seeing Titcomb growing his offensive game this season.
