IceDogs acquire defenceman Christian Colosimo from Firebirds

The Niagara IceDogs have acquired 2008-born defenceman Christian Colosimo from the Flint Firebirds in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2030 OHL Priority Selection.

Colosimo appeared in 16 games for the Firebirds during the 2025-26 season, recording one goal and one assist. The Vaughan, Ontario native was originally selected by Flint in the fourth round, 61st overall, of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection.

Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing over 215 pounds, the left-shot defenceman brings a combination of size, physicality, and long-term potential to Niagara’s blue line. Colosimo spent parts of the 2025-26 season with the Aurora Tigers of the OJHL, where he recorded 4 assists in 23 games.

The IceDogs are excited about the addition and the attributes Colosimo brings to the organization.

“Christian is a big, strong puck mover who seems to enjoy playing a physical style of hockey,” said IceDogs General Manager Dale DeGray. “Seeing him in the Western Conference, I know that he is a player that opponents need to be aware of when he is on the ice. I appreciate the way that he plays and look forward to seeing him in an IceDogs jersey come September.”
