Hello Thunder Fans,
I just wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of the team. I am in the midst of heavy recruiting, looking for the right players to fit into the Thunder line-up. I have been in contact with NHL and AHL clubs all summer and many other leagues are getting calls to see what is available. Understand that I am not in a hurry to just sign anyone in order to get players on paper. Some of the key players on this year’s team will more than likely not be signed - or assigned to us - until late September/early October. I am looking for hardworking and good character guys to make the Wichita Thunder a team to contend with.
We currently have 10 players signed and will make some announcements in the coming weeks. More than likely we are looking at 3 new veteran players, a new defensive corps and good young pair of goaltenders.
My wife Cass, twin boys Jacob and Tyler (4 years old), our new daughter Alexa - who was born on August 1st - and myself are very excited to be getting to Wichita this weekend. We are looking forward to being a part of the Wichita community and the Thunder family. I look forward to meeting the fans soon and seeing you all at the Kansas Coliseum on Saturday Night October 18th!
