It's October!

I'm feeling good. It's October 1, opening month of hockey season and we have professional hockey in Cincinnati. That's a good feeling!

Is it ideal? Well, probably not. Ideal to me would be the old IHL. We had players on the bubble of the NHL, just a notch below. They had veteran experience and near-NHL skill level. We got that good of hockey at minor-league prices. That was ideal.

Ideal is gone - whether it's my version of ideal or some else's. But the ECHL Cyclones are here and that's just fine with me. I see plenty of advantages.

My next post will be a breakdown of what I think are reasonable expectations of this incarnation of the Cyclones.

Let's play hockey!
