The victory gave the Cyclones their first-ever Kelly Cup
championship with the triumph. Cedrick Desjardins stopped 30
shots in the win, while Jean-Michel Daoust added a pair of
assists.
The crowd of 12,722 was the largest in ECHL playoff history and
pushed the Cyclones attendance for the postseason to 54,289—the

Diminutive Cyclones
Star Can't Be Overlooked
As
David Desharnais has gone, so has Cincinnati in the Kelly
Cup Finals.
Desharnais (pronounced DAY-har-nay) had two goals and an assist
in the Cyclones' 4-2 win over the Wranglers in Game 1, and he
had a goal and two assists in Cincinnati's 4-2 triumph over Las
Vegas in Game 3.

Cyclones Create Buzz
In Cincinnati
In 2003-04, the
Cincinnati Cyclones finished in the cellar of a nine-team
Northern Division with just 25 wins and 54 points.
They spent the next two seasons on voluntary suspension, but
returned in 2006 with a young, energetic coach who was
determined to put hockey back on the map in a city that went
from hosting ECHL and American Hockey League teams to none at
all.
In his first year as an ECHL head coach, Chuck Weber guided the
Cyclones to a 37-win season and a trip to the second round of
the Kelly Cup Playoffs, where they lost a heated seven-game
series to the eventual conference champion Dayton Bombers.
One year later, Weber's Cyclones are in the Kelly Cup Finals.
