The Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) are pleased to announce they have acquired forward Nick Oddo in a trade with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders.  In exchange, the Lancers sent Cedar Rapids their 12th (No. 151 overall) and 13th (No. 164 overall) Round selections in this afternoon's draft.  Oddo, an Omaha native, spent the last two seasons with the RoughRiders where he compiled 24 goals and 41 points in 107 regular season games.

"Nick brings skill along with an ability to score," said Lancers Head Coach/GM Bliss Littler.  "He's a USHL veteran who has been well coached and will bring that experience here to Omaha."

Oddo, having already committed to the University of Nebraska-Omaha, tallied 10 goals and 18 points in 50 games with Cedar Rapids last year.  He was also tied for 5th among all RoughRiders with a +/- rating of +11.  In his first USHL season in 2007-08, Oddo registered 14 goals and 23 points in 57 games and was once again one of the team leaders in +/- at +9.
