Trio of Former Falcons Ink New Pro Deals

WALTHAM, Mass. – A trio of former Bentley hockey players, who graduated this past spring, forwards Alex Grieve (Calgary, Alberta) and Brett Switzer (Calgary, Alberta) and defenseman Steve Weinstein, have each signed new professional deals.

Grieve, Bentley's team captain this past season, signed with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL after previously signing with Quad City in the ECHL after completing his Bentley career in March. The Komets are affiliated with the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL.

Weinstein, an assistant captain as a senior with Bentley, signed on with the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones. At the end of last season, the blue liner became the first player in program history to join a team in the AHL when he played for the Springfield Falcons. The Cyclones are affiliated with the Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers in the NHL.

Switzer, another assistant captain last season, inked a deal with the Dundee (Scotland) Stars of the Elite Ice Hockey League in the United Kingdom. He had previously joined the Hull Stingrays in the EIHL.

All three had decorated four year careers at Bentley. Grieve finished his career with 128 points, good for second all-time in the school's Division I history. Weinstein was twice named first team All-Conference and was voted as Atlantic Hockey's 2014-15 Best Defenseman. Switzer finished his career with 110 points, sixth most in Bentley's Division I history, and with the school's overall record for games played (146).
