For a Friday the Th, this is turning out to be a tame one, but I haven't really stepped out into the real world yet. But here is a few quick hits around the minor leagues:
The Youngstown Steelhounds (of the CHL) will be playing the Dayton Bombers (of the ECHL) in an exhibition game tonight. Neat idea. I still don't know why Youngstown is in the CHL, as they are quite a ways away from the rest of the league. I'm sure the facility has something to do with it (the CHL has active roles in building and running arenas around it's league)
Speaking of the Bombers, they were defeated in exhibition play by the Cincinnati Cyclones. Why do I bring this up? Because it has to do with the Cincinnati Cyclones. If you didn't know, I like them. Hockey is alive and well in Cincinnati. (ECHL regular season starts soon)
The UHL (United Hockey League) has a preview of it's upcoming season and teams. If you have never been to a UHL game, it's worth the price of admission, which is pretty low to begin with.
If you don't know where some of these teams are, most league websites have a league map online. You can see what the travel distances are, and see where hockey is being played, sometimes in surprising places, making it harder to argue where hockey doesn't belong.
If you want to follow the AHL game day scores on your mobile phone, point your phone's browser to wap.ahl.leaguestat.com. Very light page with current scores, but you should be keeping your eyes on the road anyways.
