Guido going full time...

Hello all,

Last week I put the finishing touches on a deal. I'm retiring from my job in local law enforcement after almost 25 years, which frees up time for me to go full time as the Ice Meister for the Cyclones/US Bank Arena.

Drew has done a great job, but he is responsible for many other things. Sometimes he can't leave the building for days when they are doing changeovers back-and-forth from hockey, to concert, back to hockey, etc.

This way I can take one burden off his plate, so he can focus on other things while I focus on the ice. You are not likely to see any visible change in the ice condition, because he has done so well. I do hope to be able to make it at least a little better for the players since I'll have more time for 'grooming' operations; but, honestly, once the puck drops they don't really notice unless it is just bad.

Either way, I'm excited about this new chapter - and maybe I will have more free time to update this blog more often!
