The Wranglers will start their season off with a game against the Seattle Totems on Thursday, Oct. 1, followed by two games on Friday and Saturday night against the River City Jags.
Wouldn't a win against the Totems be great? Nothing, and I mean nothing would be finer. I mean, an opening season win to start to erase last season, and beat Seattle. Oh my! As earlier said, Seattle's squad is almost all gone and they are working hard on rebuilding. I still don't think Seattle is going to have a good team this year. So if the Wranglers want to start off the 2009-10 season right then this is the game to do it.
The following two games against the Jaguars will be tough for the Wranglers. River City is rebuilding too, but not as much as Seattle or the Wranglers. The Jags got plenty of returning talent.
Interesting schedule on Pointstreak is the mid-season interleague games the Wranglers play against NorPac America West Division teams - Billings Bulls, Yellowstone Quake, and Butte Roughriders. This will be interesting. There's always been quite a bit of talk that the America West Division is better than the Pacific Division. I guess this will settle the argument.
The Wranglers will end the season playing the Oregon NorPac teams of Eugene and River City. The Wranglers play each team in the Pacific Division of NorPac (Eugene, River City, Seattle, Puget Sound, and Tri Cities) nine times during the season for a total of 45 games. Three games less this year than last year's 48 games.
Finally, I haven't seen the Wrangler's roster posted. They just completed their "boot camp" last week to begin a tough conditioning and training that Coach Chelios said he is bringing to the Wranglers. Again, rumors - only rumors - are that several vacancies exist particularly in the defensive side of the ice. The Wranglers recruited hard on getting scorers, but need defensive help with the core of last year's defensive squad gone - Long and Summa.
