Aaron Davis rumoured to be joining the Texas Brahmas

Productive veteran center may be a member of the 2008-09 team

The Texas Brahmas are reportedly working out a deal to sign center Aaron Davis for the 2008-09 campaign. Davis, 29, was traded by the Mississippi RiverKings to the Odessa Jackalopes in August for future considerations. Three sources have confirmed a deal is in the works.

Last season, the Dearborn Heights, Michigan native tallied 45 points (21 G, 24 A) with 30 penalty minutes in 48 games. Seven of his goals came on the power play. During the post-season, Davis added two assists in the three-game series against the Brahmas.

The 45 points by Davis last year were the second-most number of points he has put up in one CHL season, exceeded only by a 55-point campaign with the Austin Ice Bats in 2005-06.

Over the past five seasons, Davis played with four different CHL teams and tallied 218 points (77 G, 141 A) He’s also added 146 penalty minutes, 20 power play goals, five shorthanded tallies and had 14 game-winning goals in that time.

Davis was with the Fort Worth Brahmas for 97 games during the 2003-4 and 2004-05 seasons scoring 63 points (26 G, 37 A) with 29 penalty minutes.

Previously, Davis played two seasons in the ECHL and two seasons in the NAHL. He also played for four years of NCAA hockey at Lake Superior State University.

If this deal goes through, the Brahmas will have yet another consistent scorer on the roster who definitely be a factor in the Brahmas' quest for a CHL Championship.
