Here comes "The Rooster"

As reported on the Brahmas Insider on May 30, the Texas Brahmas announced their first official signing for the 2008-09 season, Lance Galbraith, veteran forward from the ECHL Idaho Steelheads.

The 5' 10" 190lb right winger played six seasons in the ECHL and also has experience in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the United Hockey League (UHL). He scored 67 points (22 G, 45 A) in 66 games played last season. Galbraith won two Kelly Cup's with the Steelheads, in 2005 and 2007.

The 28-year-old fan favorite from Brampton, Ontario earned the nickname "The Rooster" for his agressive playing style and has averaged over 285 penalty minutes per season in his professional career. "Obviously, I'm not an angel on the ice." said Galbraith.

"Lance comes to our program with two championships; he knows what it takes to win. He will play a strong leadership role for us as well as being a key player in the community. He will be the epitome of all-around player for the Brahmas organization," said Brahmas Coach Dan Wildfong.
