Chuck Costello Returns to Mississippi

BILOXI, MS - The Mississippi Sea Wolves of the Federal Prospects Hockey League are proud to announce that they have signed Forward Chuck Costello.

Costello, a 27-year-old forward from Philadelphia, PA, began his pro career in Mississippi where he scored six goals in 16 games before being traded on December 29th for Goaltender Bailey MacBurnie from the Columbus River Dragons. After the trade Chuck went to Quad City on a loan for 9 games before returning to Columbus and scoring 8 points in 16 games as well as adding 3 assists in 5 playoff games before Columbus fell to Carolina in the Conference Finals. 

The Sea Wolves were so eager to bring back Costello ahead of 2023-24 they traded a first round dispersal draft pick to bring him back to the Gulf Coast. Chuck was a point a game player in 7 games before suffering a season ending injury last year and the coaching staff expects more this upcoming season. 

"Biloxi has fans that show up to every game and it means a lot more to us players than anyone thinks. It's a big factor for us at home." Costello told media members "With my speed and determination on the ice the fans can expect a lot out of me and I will try to enjoy every moment like it's my last. Last season's injury taught me you never know what can happen."

Player/Assistant Coach Sam Turner added "Having Chuck come back for another season is a huge addition for our team. He's a gamer. We didn't get to see him much last year due to his injury but he's a big offensive threat and we are happy he's back."
