SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Savannah Ghost Pirates announced Tuesday the team has signed forwards Tristan Amonte and Bryce Brodzinski to ECHL contracts for the 2025-26 season.
Amonte, 25, has spent the last four seasons at Boston University, compiling 79 games with the Terriers and producing nine points (four goals, five assists). Before attending BU, the Norwell, MA, native played junior hockey in both the USHL (Youngstown Phantoms) and BCHL (Penticton Vees). His father, Tony, notched 900 points in 1174 NHL games over 16 seasons with the New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks, Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers and Calgary Flames.
Brodzinski, 25, is coming off a 53-point rookie season in the ECHL, amassing 22 goals and 31 assists in 69 games with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and the Norfolk Admirals.
