A little something to look forward to.

The Grizzlies released their 2010-11 schedule today, which in turn made us itchy for some hockey. But really anything does that. The first home game is October 22, so we're already counting down the days (148.5 left to go). You can find the full schedule at UtahGrizzlies.com.


And to wrap up the 2009-10 season, the Cincinnati Cylcones took their second Kelly Cup in 3 years after making ECHL history in their previous seriesby coming back from a 3-0 game deficit. While it might have been nice to see the Cup passed to the hands of a National Conference team, the Cyclones really worked for this one. Nicely done, Cincinnati.

And if you haven't already watched them, the Grizzlies have their video highlights from the 2009-10 season up on their website. Enjoy!

What to do in the summertime?

Ah, life without live hockey: this is what hell must be like. Particularly since ice couldn't last down there . . .

If you haven't seen this already on Puck Daddy, we've decided to post it here since it was in the ECHL. The Royals and the Cyclones got into a line brawl this Sunday at the end of Game 5 of their playoff series. Apparently it resulted in almost an hour's worth of penalty minutes, some suspensions and fines. We found it on YouTube and have posted it below. The narration on this is all class (sarcasm intended), so consider yourself forewarned if you watch with the sound on.

Kind of old news, but as we haven't posted it yet: Ryan Kinasewich will be headed to the KHL next season. It looks like he will be joining the Medvescak Zagreb and playing with former Grizzlies defensman Andy Sertich. Snatch is scheduled to arrive in Croatia at the end of July. The kid's been a Grizzlies' icon for last 5 years, so we're really sad to see him go. Best of luck, Ryan!


If you want to watch Andy and Ryan in the KHL, you can usually find live feeds of the games on ChannelSurfing.net. Not to mention, one of our bloggers is currently living in Italy, so we're thinking a trip to Croatia might be in order when the season starts . . .

And speaking of our blog, over the summer we plan on adding some additional bloggers to our staff. If you're interested in writing for us, feel free to send an email to grizzblog@gmail.com.

Also during the summer, we hope to get pictures from the rest of the season up to our Flickr account, as well as updating our social networking accounts at Twitter and Facebook. We'll post updates as we work on getting those in order.

And remember: while WE might be slackers, you can always go read Adrian Denny's summer blogs which he posts every Friday.

Here's to 2010-11!
