Firebirds sign forward Josh Colosimo

FLINT, Mich. – The Flint Firebirds have announced that forward Josh Colosimo has signed an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the team.

Josh Colosimo was acquired by the Firebirds in a trade with the Sudbury Wolves in June. He was originally selected by the Wolves in the ninth round of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection and played the 2023-24 in the OJHL for the Georgetown Raiders and Brantford 99ers. Colosimo combined for six goals and 12 assists in 52 games for the two teams. The 2006-born forward is the older brother of Christian Colosimo and the two will be teammates for the first time in their hockey careers.

“It’s an honor to sign. I’m really excited to get to work,” Colosimo said. “To get to play with my brother is a great opportunity. We’ve never done it before so we’re itching to get started.”

Scouting Report from Head Scout Mike Oliveiro:
Josh earned himself a contract with his high-energy and consistent play. He creates room on the ice for his linemates with his physicality while having the ability to make those plays with his skill and vision. He is the kind of player who you hate to play against but love to have on your team.
