2 For Chirping

🎵 Return of the Mac(Lean) 🎵 

The Cyclones have put pen to paper on another returnee, and this time it's the 6-foot-7 defenseman, Steven MacLean! The one they call 'Macker' makes his debut appearance on TFC to talk about his early birthday present he received this past June, plus his college graduation, aspirations for this upcoming season, and the 1 word he would use to describe last season. Hear from a player whose journey throughout hockey hasn't always been the easiest, but one where hard work has been rewarded.

The product of the much esteemed Canisius University (formerly Canisius College) Lee Lapid is running it back in downtown Cincy! Hear from 'Laps' on the different kind of offseason he's having now that he has a pro season under his belt.  Get the expert analysis of Lee on this past season as a whole, and personally. Does Lapid have any regrets?  How long was this season compared to any other he played in college or junior hockey? Find the answers to all this and more as we drop the puck on another player signing edition of Mini Chirps!

It's a first here for a Cyclones player signing!  The 'Clones look to have yet again acquired the services of veteran forward Louie Caporusso, but this time he's brought company....it's baby Lincoln! Meet the newest member of the Caporusso family as the 34-year-old Louie touches on finally being a 'boy dad' plus how age is just a number and how Cappy just keeps getting better and better over time.

It's 2 for the price of 1 in the latest installment of mini chirps. Enjoy the smiles, laughs, drools, and more!

Jalen Smereck is runnin' the wagon back! Cincinnati's leading scoring defenseman is entering year 2 with the 'Clones, and today we're chatting with "J" during a busy summer, with the Detroit native running around the country helping coach and direct hockey camps (more on that later in the video..and here's a link: https://www.sdhockeyllc.com/enroll/NJ)...also, we take a look back at the historic 21-game point streak the Cyclones went on last season, including its tail-end in Utah...also, the arrest thing was a joke. It was just funny to say (seriously though, it was a suspension). 

Enjoy the episode!

Look alive, it's Justin Vaive! We're kicking the summer off with the the VaiveCat (former twitch streamer) being the Cyclones'  first player signing. The "C" is BACK and has re-signed to lead the 'Clones toward a Kelly Cup in 2023-24! We get a chance to talk with Vaiver about a few things, including his accidental "retirement" post (what?!?!?), his thoughts on Cincinnati's new affiliation, milestones, and more. Learn about some impressive benchmarks the 13-year pro has already reached, along with more he is closing in on. Justin has already cemented himself as an all-time great here in Cincy, but he won't stop there. #46 is looking to be the #1 player to ever put on a Cincinnati Cyclones jersey.

The BOSS is on the pod! Kristin (or KP) dives into what makes the Cyclones, well, the Cyclones. Relive the *exciting* day Kristin told her office that they were buying the Cyclones. Oh, and we definitely ask some hard-hitting questions like where will the Cyclones be in 10 years, plus a fan-favorite topic: would Cincinnati ever potentially be an NHL market? Catch these topics, plus fun ones like talks of being arrested and more on our longest podcast yet, featuring General Manager and Vice President of Heritage Bank Center and the Cincinnati Cyclones, Kristin Ropp!

Yemmer is back in Cincy and back on the pod! The Cyclones scrapper talks all about the "double knockout" that became a viral sensation (also, was it really a double KO...more on that later). You'll also hear Brandon's journey through this season, including being traded, released, then signed to the 'Clones again.
