Aaron Davis signing announced by the Texas Brahmas

Former Fort Worth Brahma signs on for the 2008-09 championship run

The Texas Brahmas have added another high caliber center to the squad with the signing of Aaron Davis. Davis, 29, has averaged nearly 44 points in each of his five seasons in the Central Hockey League.

"Davis is a strong competitor and leader. We expect great things for him this season in a Brahmas uniform." Brahmas Head Coach Dan Wildfong said.

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 notched 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 2003-04 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.

I spoke with Aaron last week and will be posting his interview soon.
