WYANDOTTE MICH.

Last week it was announced that seven players had their rights returned to the Motor City Rockers as a part of their return to active status in the FPHL.

One of the seven names that is returning is the Rockers all-time leader in games played, defenseman, Josh Colten. Colten was a member of the Rockers for the entirety of their first three seasons.

From 2022-25, Colten played 167 games for Motor City. 35 more than second on the all time list. In that time, Colton tallies 34 goals and 92 assists, totaling 126 points, just two shy of the franchises all-time mark of 128.

Colton brings a veteran and stable presence to a new era of Rockers hockey.

A staple of the FPHL since 2016, Colten has missed just one regular season game since the start of the 2022-23 season.

Last season, Colton recorded 10 goals and 29 assists for the Columbus River Dragons, helping propel them to a divisional final appearance.
