Former Express player John Kruse was one of 67 Air Force Academy cadets that contracted the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus during basic training earlier this summer. According to Coach Frank Serratore, he "was not hospitalized and has since recovered". Read a short article here: http://gazetteafasports.freedomblogging.com/2009/08/06/swine-flu-sidelined-hockey-player/2431/ , or a longer article here:

Hopefully this doesn't affect his playing status and he's back to 100% by hockey season. It will be cool to see him on the ice with fellow Express alumni Kozlak, Kirby, and Carew. Although every time I bring up the Air Force Academy, it's hard not to think about the giant shaft-job that Kevin Wright is getting from the NCAA. If you're not familiar with that situation, I blogged about it back in June, which you can read here: http://owatonnaexpress.blogspot.com/2009/06/monday-tidbits.html . I did a quick google search, and it looks like nothing has changed this summer in regards to Kevin's situation.
33 days and counting to the regular season opener on September 12th in Albert Lea.
See you at the rink.

What happened to the "Other side of the tracks" link on the main Express website??
There were some technical and creative issues that we had to work through (99% my fault). It will be back soon. Episode 2 is ready to roll.
