THE NAMES BEHIND THE TEAMS
These players all left the jersey in a better place. They sacrificed everything they had to make
the Wings a success.
Team Britt
Logan Britt (2016-2018) was a huge asset to the blue line
during his time with the Wings. The Crystal Lake, Illinois native tallied 23 points in his 66 games in Aberdeen. His solid play gained him a chance to play in the USHL for the Lincoln Stars and Sioux Falls Stampede; winning a Clark Cup with Sioux Falls in the 2018-2019 season. Logan went on to play two seasons with Quinnipiac before transferring to Sacred Heart for two seasons. He finished his graduate season with the University of North Dakota, before signing a professional contract with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits of the ECHL.

Team Brandon
Pierson Brandon (2018-2020) was another staunch blueliner for the Wings; one that could score if needed and provided leadership to the team. Pierson would score 10 goals and rack up 43 assists in his 111 games for the Wings. Brandon’s leadership skills earned him the honor of Alternate Captain during the Covid-shortened season of 2019-2020. Pierson would commit to the Ivy League school Colgate where he began playing in 2020-2021. He was named Alternate Captain and just completed his 4th season with the Raiders, where he served as team Captain.

Team Cosentino
Clayton Cosentino (2019-2021) was a strong leader for the Wings. During his time in Aberdeen, Cosentino would be a leader on the ice and a threat offensively for the Wings.

Team Strada

have been smaller in stature, Joey made an immediate impact offensively for the Wings. Strada collected 144 points in his 173 games in a Wings jersey. Joey went on to play a season in the USHL for Des Moines and Waterloo, before playing 8 games professionally in Sweden for Lindlövens IF.

Team Belisle
Screenshot
Brad Belisle (2018-2019) joined the Wings after stints in the USHL and BCHL with Fargo, Des Moines, and Nanaimo, respectively. Belisle’s presence was felt instantly as he contributed to the offense in big numbers, scoring 33 goals and 35 assists in just 58 games played. Belisle was a pivotal member of the 2018-2019 Robertson Cup Champions, earning himself numerous honors along the way. He was NAHL (Central) Forward of the Year, NAHL All-Central Division Team, and NAHL First Team All-Star. Brad parlayed that success on the ice into an offer from Bemidji State University where he would play for 4 seasons.
