Vaive re-signs with Cyclones

Cincinnati, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones announced that the team has re-signed forward and team captain Justin Vaive for the 2023-24 season.

Vaive enters his 13th professional season and ninth in Cincinnati. The veteran winger has played 360 of his 700 professional games with the Cyclones. Over the course of his tenure with Cincinnati, the captain has amassed 236 points (134g-102a).
