Cleveland Monsters Trade Forward Ryland Mosley to Rockford IceHogs
Cleveland recalled Mosley from a Toledo Walleye loan, then immediately shipped him to Rockford for future considerations — all within a single deadline-week roster move.
The Cleveland Monsters cleared a depth forward from their roster last Friday, trading 26-year-old Ryland Mosley to the Rockford IceHogs in exchange for future considerations. The move came directly off a recall: Mosley had been on loan to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye since February 14, and Cleveland pulled him back only to send him to Rockford the same day, March 13.
Mosley, a 5'11", 190-pound left wing from Arnprior, Ontario, appeared in eight games for Cleveland this season, posting one goal and one assist with two penalty minutes. His more productive stretch came during that Toledo loan, where he put up five goals and two assists for seven points with a plus-2 rating across 12 ECHL games. Across 12 career AHL appearances with the Monsters spanning parts of the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons, his totals hold at 1-0-1 with two penalty minutes.
He signed a one-year AHL contract with Cleveland on March 10, 2025, covering the full 2025-26 season.
Before turning pro, Mosley built a substantial NCAA resume across five collegiate seasons. He recorded 116 points on 54 goals and 62 assists in 165 games split between Michigan Tech (2020-24) and Wisconsin (2024-25). At Michigan Tech, he helped the Huskies claim the 2023-24 CCHA Tournament Championship and earned a spot on the 2022-23 CCHA First All-Star Team. His junior career with the Carleton Place Canadians in the CCHL produced 129 points in 127 games from 2015 to 2020.
The trade lands Mosley with a Rockford club sitting at 21-32-3-2 after beating the Chicago Wolves 4-1 on the same day the deal was announced. Cleveland, meanwhile, holds third place in the North Division at 31-19-6-1 with 69 points through 57 games. The Monsters' direction here is straightforward: with the AHL trade deadline approaching and their playoff positioning secure, a depth forward with limited AHL production was worth more as a future asset than a roster spot.
