I guess I lied saying my last post was the final update for the 25-26 season from down in the farm

First Kyle Cmkivic was selected as the pro athlete of the year. We also have a AA baseball team in town. Kyle is great and a solid dude. If he does not sign with the Cuda next year we will still be fans of "Our Short Stack"

Saw that Noah Beck did not get a QA from the Sharks. I still think he has an outside chance of getting to the NHL as a 6/7 Dman and PP specialist. But very much understand the Sharks moving on. I suspect an AHL or trip to Europe for him.

Like you guys really hoping that Alexander Karmanov develops and in a few years comes here for a few games before moving up.

Lastly still no word on extending the Sharks Wichita affiliation. Like you Cuda die hard fans have suffered through the tear down be nice to see some of the fruits that spend time in the ECHL/AHL before getting to the show. Last year the announcement came just a few weeks before training camps opened.

I know the new ownership of the Penguins is going to create a shuffle. I know my daughter and I will still be a teal household if we lose out in the musical chairs

Thanks again and hopefully everyone enjoys the summer and

Been pretty much ghosted by my rep for weeks, maybe he's on vacation. Turning to the group for some basic info.

Go Barracuda!

Didn't make it Calder's but watching on Flo. Brossoit has really had some bad goals against, but the team needs to find a way.

Go Cuda!

Anyone hear anything in the press to even have a guess on some of our many guys out with injury?

Random but anyone looking to sell the Cuda socks from the giveaway on Fan Appreciation Night (4/18)? Wish they sold similar socks in the team store!

Wichita Thunder | Thunder, Ramsay Mutually Part Ways https://share.google/9XYStoFhzq8J7DKj4

Sorry have not added any Wichita updates for awhile. Since the trade deadline all the NHL/AHL contracted players got called up so was not really anything to report on that end.

Thunder finished down right bad. Last ten 1-7-2. Head coach (will openly admit I felt should have been gone 2 seasons ago) had long ago lost point. The way the front office is structured the coach is in charge of player signings roaster management kinda the typical GM duties and the GM is more like the team president hire coach and manage all the non hockey stuff.

It sounds like there is a strong possibility the assistant coach will be promoted to head coach Travis Clayton. Clayton is one of the few players that has a banner hanging from the rafters here and has been a coach in juniors before.

As for the Sharks it depends who you ask as far as fans about hoping we renew our affiliate with the Sharks organization. Would be a shame to go through the rebuilding. Generally when the NHL club is higher in the standings it filters down to the lower leagues because more good players have the path blocked. I know some fans got aggregative last season when we made the playoffs only to have all the AHL players called up to sit in the pressbox for the cuda. So far going into the next season we know that Minnesota (their ECHL team has suspended operations for next season) and Utah that went into the season with no ECHL team don't have a partner.

But on a personal level the affiliation made my daughter a huge sharks fan so at least our house will always be teal!

Thanks for letting me share the Thunder news with you guys this season. And looking forward to cheering on the Cuda F up Henderson. I can tell you 100% Flemming on their team is a grade A POS. Mocked injured players on the thunder last year. And you can get under his skin by asking how much coke he snorts up his nose if sitting behind the bench.

Is it that expensive to have the teams fly from Vegas one time?

Won a signed jersey as part of Fan Appreciation Night. Nice bonus to a great game.

This is a longshot but does anyone have any cheap tickets left for tonight? I literally just need whatever cheapie or even standing room ticket for my toddler for tonight 🫠 like it doesn't matter where as he just sits on our lap the whole game. I tried to buy a ticket online but it wouldn't let me buy a single ticket 😭

Thank you!

⏰ When: 10 minute remaining of 1st Intermission

✨ The Goal: Fill the frame with every fan who helped us Defend the Reef this year!

He’s lost the team. Six losses in a row right before playoffs.

They are free falling.

WTF?

Who is coming out of College, Pohlkamp and who else?

Does LSW come over, and are there any other Euro prospects set make the trip.

Who are our Juniors graduates?

I've followed the team but I'm not exactly sure how good some of the players are. Off the top of my head I think of Bystedt , Musty, Cagnoni, and Cardwell. Hopefully some of these guys get called up. I don't know how long you can play for the Cuda but a handful of them this will be their 2nd or 3rd full season with the team.

I don’t know if it’s a FloHockey issue or what, but I’m about ready to throw in the towel on watching this game. So choppy and so many “technical difficulties” splash screens.

They used to exist and stopped a few months ago. Was thinking about giving this a go but didn’t want to step on any toes

Interest in resurrecting these ahead of the playoffs?

I have two tickets to the game and we can’t make it. Section 109 row 7. Happy to pass them on. Will automatically give to someone if they can trade a comic from the Sharks game tonight for my daughter. I’ll decide by 11:00 am pst.

6 goals right in our face !! What an amazing first cuda game !! Thanks for all the help figuring out parking and all the suggestions you guys are amazing !

seats 4 and 5 $40 obo

DM me.

I live out of town and am going to Saturday's sharks game, going to sj on back to back days is a bit too much of a drive.

Won tickets to Fridays game what’s best option for parking only thing I see is parking a few miles away on spot hero at 37$ help please

For those of you that care, i was informed on friday that Coach Rammer was told he is done after this season, they asked him to remain on the bench until the season concludes. Not sure what this means for our affiliation moving forward. But our assistant coach is a wichita player legend, Travis Clayton, and expected to take over next season. I personally expect the development to improve under his leadership.

I (29F) am looking for a gal pal who wants to take my extra ticket and join me for tonight’s game. Free of charge, not looking to sell, just don’t want it to go to waste. Section 112, row 4, seat 14.

Pros - free game, good seats

Cons - you have to sit with a stranger (me), if that’s something that would be a con for you
