The Worst Kept Secret in the History of the Express

For the few people who haven't already heard this through the grapevine, forward Dan Cecka is back with the Express. Once again, the chants of Cecka, Cecka, Cecka, will ring out through the 4 Seasons Centre. Cecka came to the Express around half way through last season. He averaged over a point per game with the Express, scoring 15 goals and 15 assists in 26 games. The line of Stephen Carew, John Kruse, and Cecka were an offensive force for our favorite junior hockey team. Cecka started this season with the Omaha Lancers in the USHL.

Another new addition to the Express announced today, was the addition of defenseman Joe Schmitz from the Sioux City Musketeers. Schmitz is 6'2"/200lbs, a 1991 birth year, and is from Lino Lakes, Minnesota. He is recovering from a shoulder injury, and I'm not sure of his playing status at this juncture.

Of course with the addition of new players, there is the unfortunate subtraction of existing players. To make room on the roster, the Express released defenseman John Kirby. Good luck chasing the dream somewhere else, John.

See you at the rink.
