A hard-working center who takes his shifts as they come, and finds a way to make a difference. A slick skater who is able to make creative plays in the neutral zone. Has a quick, proactive stick that is noticeable offensively and defensively. Needs to get stronger and work on making better decisions along the boards. All-in-all, a player who can play in all situations and be relied upon to make a difference. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014)

The Mastercard Memorial Cup hero on May 31st, 2015, Cirelli was a spectacle to behold. He played a pivotal role in the final game, proving that he can make a difference under great pressure to perform. - [EP]
