It looks like there is going to be a lot of changes for this next year. Either way there is going to be more travel. It sounds like from all the reports that this team will be entering the CHL. Here is a look at how the travel might change.
Quad City - 131 miles
Fort Wayne - 233 miles
Dayton - 288 miles
Flint - 378 miles
Port Huron - 444 miles
Missouri Mavericks - 368 miles
Mississippi RiverKings - 460 miles
Tulsa Oilers - 557 miles
Wichita Thunder - 575 miles
Allen Americans - 768 miles
Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs - 778 miles
Texas Brahmas - 808 miles
Rapid City Rush - 914 miles
Colorado Eagles - 964 miles
Odessa Jackalopes - 1115 miles
Laredo Bucks - 1222 miles
Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees - 1321 miles
Kalamazoo Wings - 252 miles
Cincinnati Cyclones -285 miles
Toledo Walleye - 351 miles
Wheeling Nailors - 472 miles
Gwinnett Gladiators - 680 miles
Greenville - 695 miles
Elmira Jackals - 756 miles

Keep in mind, if we are in the ECHL we would have to go to all of these places. I think the plan in the CHL is that we would not play everyone.

Bits and pieces of everything
After spending a week in 2nd place, my fantasy team is back in 1st with a record of 47-32-5. Two games up on the second place team.
I put this on here because I am from Salt Lake City #5. It is yahoo's 10 best cities for the next decade.

Check this out. I found this link on the Society of Professional Hockey Equipment Managers facebook page. Mike Aldrich from San Jose did a great job with team USA's locker room.

Is the third time really a charm? It will be for Marian Hossa if the Black Hawks can beat the Flyers. This is the 3rd year in a row that he has played in the Stanley Cup finals, however he has not been a part of the winning team. 2 years ago he was a part of the Penguins team that lost to the Redwings. Last year he switched sides hoping his luck would change. It didn't as his Redwings lost to the Penguins. This year he will try and win it with the Black Hawks.
The Tampa Bay Lightning made a step in the right direction as they have hired one of the best on-ice leaders to run their team. Steve Yzerman was hired as their GM. I think he will do a great job.

Congrats to the Cincinnati Cyclones who won the ECHL Championship.
The Normal CornBelters won their first ever game 7 to 0 over Evansville. They are 3-1. Opening Day is June 1st at the Corn Crib in Normal.

Lots going on!
I sat down with Josh Redman this week and he interviewed me about my job. We talked about many things I do. Check it out, a few things might make you laugh. Thanks again Josh, I had a blast.

Well, the Flint Generals were also able to come back from a 3 to 1 deficit to defeat the Muskegon Lumberjacks and end 50 years of pro hockey in that city. They will take on the Fort Wayne Komets. That series will start tomorrow in Fort Wayne. For more info on the dates and times of that series check out the press release:

Here is a little more about Muskegon and the 50 years. I find it kinda funny that on the second to last day of the season, Muskegon rested Centomo, Little, Bouchard, and Robinson against Flint. Muskegon lost that game and lost to them in the playoffs. If they would have won that game, we would have been in the playoffs. Nobody wanted to play Flint because of the run that they were putting together. Muskegon didn't find that game important to win, thus they are now on the golf course.

There is now a second team in the IHL without a coach as Stan Drulia in Port Huron resigned earlier this week. John Marks was fired last month from Dayton.
http://ism3.infinityprosports.com/ismdata/2009062901/std-sitebuilder/sites/200901/www/en/news/index.html?article_id=879
Peoria will have a new coach next year as Rick Wamsley was dismissed by the St. Louis Blues.

Congrats to the Rapid City Rush who won the Central League Championship by beating the Allen Americans 4 games to 2.
Pro baseball in the Bloomington-Normal area has officially begun. The team started practicing yesterday in Downs at Tri-Valley high school.

In order to try and get back on the right track the Cubs have called up top prospect Starlin Castro. Lets hope that he can step in and help.

Monday notes
Well, after 4 weeks of fantasy baseball, I am still in 1st place with a record of 31-14-3.
Around the IHL, Fort Wayne came from being down 3 games to 1 to win the series 4 games to 3 against Port Huron. This is the second time in 3 years that they have done this.
In the other series, Muskegon is up 3 games to 2. Game 6 will be played tomorrow night in Muskegon. Here is a look into that series:

There hasn't been much PrairieThunder news lately. Here is a sad piece that came out today. I did not know him, but I am sure that many of you did.
http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4003188
In a surprising move, the Bloomington Extreme fired their coach today.
http://www.pantagraph.com/sports/football/professional/arena/extreme/article_3f321e40-56df-11df-9776-001cc4c002e0.html
For some of you, the equipment sale was the first look into the PrairieThunder locker room. Although, it was not during the season and a few things were missing. You got an idea as to what it looks like. Well, I am not a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, but you have to check out this tour of their locker room.
