Curtis is with the team for a 2nd term. Going back to his 2010-2011 season with Manchester Phoenix, he is working on his own personal ‘threepeat’ of the league trophy he helped claim in back to back seasons between the Northern side and Spectrum’s tenants. After a 110 point campaign from 59 goals and 51 assists with Phoenix, injury limited him to just 39 games last season, but he still managed 31 goals, behind only Nathan Rempel, and added 26 assists for a 57 point showing. Curtis embarked on a pro career in 2000-2001 with Greenville Growl and Greensborough Generals in the East Coast Hockey League. He opened his career with a 50 point campaign before spending another 3 seasons in America, registering 94 goals and 203 points in just under 300 starts. After a split 2001-2002 with Jackson Bandits, Arkansas Riverblades and Cincinnati Cyclones, he found a home his last 2 seasons at South Carolina Stingrays where he had the bulk of his American success with a pair of 20+ goal stints and 113 points over the stretch. In 2004-2005 he made is first foreign venture when he iced with Belfast Giants. He had an immediate offensive impact by recording 24 goals and a league leading 36 assists in 48 games. The following season, his middle term at the Irish base, he demonstrated his range of skills when he led the league in goals with 28 as part of the Giants league championship winning run. Curtis moved on to Coventry Blaze in 2007-2008 and helped them to their own league title as well as the Knock Out Cup while posting 32 goals and the same number of assists. He played back in the United States the following year in Corpus Christie, Texas, before returning to Hull in 2009-2010 ahead of the league title capture with Phoenix and last season’s Flames “double”.
