LOVELAND, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles of the ECHL announced today that they've acquired goaltender Robby Nolan from the Toledo Walleye in exchange for future considerations.  Nolan spent last season with the CHL's Missouri Mavericks where he was voted the league's Most Outstanding Goaltender, was the winning goalie in the league's All-Star game & led the league in goals-against average (2.07) & shutouts (7), while ranking 3rd in wins (26) & save percentage (.928).

"The opportunity to acquire a goalie of Nolan's caliber was something we couldn't pass up," said Eagles Head Coach Chris Stewart.  "Obviously that brings the number of goaltenders on our roster to three, which will be reduced prior to the playoffs."

Following the best season of his career last year, Nolan began this season with the ECHL's Chicago Express before being traded to the Walleye.  So far this season, he's compiled a record of 9-11-3 (including one shutout), with a GAA of 3.34 & a .886 save percentage.

The Eagles will take on the Stockton Thunder at the Budweiser Events Center this Friday & Saturday.  Individual tickets for all Eagles home games are on sale now, and can be purchased at www.ComcastTix.com, the BEC box office, or by calling 1-877-544-TIXX (8499) or 970-686-SHOT (7468).
