RAPID CITY, S.D. — The Rapid City Rush, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames, announced the team has agreed to terms with forward Maurizio Colella to return for the 2024-25 season.
Colella completed his first full ECHL season with Rapid City last year. The 27-year-old recorded 32 points (12g-20a) while playing all 72 games, one of only five Rush skaters to do so.

Colella played three years of Canadian college hockey with Acadia University. At the junior level, he played nearly 300 games in five seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, producing at nearly a point-per-game pace in his final year.
