Last Stretch of 2008

We’re back from the holiday break.
The team is currently on the last leg of a road trip that started in Dayton on the 26^th, went through Wheeling last night on the 27^th, and ends tonight on the 28^th in Trenton.

We lost 5-1 in Dayton on Friday night. The lone goal coming from Mark VanGuilder, as Martin Houle was in goal. Last night we took Wheeling 5-4. Winning with two goals from TJ McElroy, one each from Kilpatrick, McLeod, and McKenzie; and three assists from St. Denis. Loic Lascasse, who was just sent back down from Hamilton (one of our AHL affiliates) was in goal.
The game in Trenton is currently in progress as I write (it started at 4pm est.). As of the 1^st period the score is 1-0 Cyclones. The goal coming from Jimmy Kilpatrick assisted by Justin Johnson and Mark VanGuilder.
Hopefully we take a win to come home with two wins out of a three road game stretch.

Over the weekend we also acquired forward Brandon Scero and defensemen Bryan O’Hanley. We signed O’Hanley coming from Fresno after the club was sadly forced to close its doors. Scero was acquired from Stockton in exchange for future considerations.
I’m not sure to what to expect out of either of them, having never seen either play before, all I hope they can bring the best of their abilities and effort to the team. Can’t wait to see what they do for us.

Our next three games are played away in Wheeling on the 31^st, and Johnstown on the 2^nd and 3^rd. The next time we play at home in US Bank Arena is on the 8^th vs. Wheeling.

LET'S GO CYCLONES!!
