The 2008 Kelly Cup Champion Cyclones will play a pair of preseason games against their intrastate rival, the Dayton Bombers.

Grimaldi becomes the first member of the 2008-09 Cyclones squad.

The eight players are center Barret Ehgoetz, forwards Jean-Michel Daoust, Billy Irish-Baker, Scott Reynolds and Matt Syroczynski, and defensemen Matt Macdonald, T.J. McElroy and Sean Perkins.

The cost is $150 per player and participants must be 20 years of age or older and able to provide their own equipment with mandatory visors.

Hamel is in his second season of work with the Cyclones and his sixth season with the club between their stints between the IHL and now.
