Brahmas announce 2012 playoff roster

Seven defensemen, 10 forwards and two goalies make up post-season corps

The Texas Brahmas are headed to their fifth consecutive post-season, the only active CHL team that can make this claim.

Texas will face their crosstown rivals, the Allen Americans, in the opening round set to begin Friday, March 30. The series will be the first ever post-season meeting between the Brahmas and Americans as well as the first meeting between a Dallas and a Fort Worth team since the 1978 CHL finals (Dallas Black Hawks and Fort Worth Texans).

The Brahmas’ final playoff roster is as follows:

Defensemen:

Jim Burichin
Jacques Perreault
Greg Eskedjian
Ross Rouleau
Erik Spady
Andrew Lackner
Brock Meadows

Forwards:

Tyler Barr
Adam Hogg
T.J. Fox
Sy Nutkevitch
Ryan Hand
Dan Nicholls
Mike Hellyer
Calin Wild
Brendon Hodge
Chad Woollard

Goaltenders:

Mark Guggenberger
Brad Fogal

Left out, but remembered fondly for their service to the team this season are Jordan Kary, Mark Ehl, Thomas Galiani and Phil Fox.

The Brahmas can still add two amateur players during the playoffs.
