Ice Bats-only content -- the final cuts were Pat Glenday, Matt Kohansky, Alex Dennis and Mike Olnyk, leaving Randy Ponte, Jaroslav Kresac and Kevin Fournier as the rookies on the team (plus goalie Peter Brady). The big x-factor with Kresac is he doesn't speak the language. But at least his brother has been through the same thing.
Make sure you head over to the new defunct teams forum. Here are my memories of Tucson: The expansion draft. That day in July when it was rumored that the team would fold. That day in August when it was still rumored. The day the league made the players free agents instead of having a dispersal draft. Hey, at least Border City played some games! And still has hockey.
