Sherri
has
been
very
busy
and
has
not
had
much
computer
time
so I
am
sending
this
to
update
all
of
you.
As
most
of
you
know
from
Facebook
Sherri’s
husband
John
was
told
last
week
that
he
has
tumors
on
his
lung(s),
kidney(s),
and
it
is
going
into
his
bone(s)
and
it
is
inoperable.
They
were
trying
to
go
to
MD
Anderson
in
Houston
for
a
diagnosis
but
would
not
be
able
to
get
an
appointment
until
August
30th.
Instead
they
have
done
some
research
and
will
be
going
to
an
oncology
place
in
Allen
on
Friday.
So
hopefully
they
will
be
able
to
tell
them
a
little
more.
At
this
point,
they
are
not
really
sure
that
it
is
cancer.
I
know
that
sounds
strange
but
they
have
not
had
a
biopsy
or
anything
yet
so
this
could
be
just
some
strange
growth. They
will
hopefully
know
more
on
Friday
and
we
will
keep
you
posted.
Right
now
there
is
not
anything
they
need
other
than
our
prayers.
Please
keep
John,
Sherri,
and
Jessica
in
your
prayers
and
feel
free
to
have
other
friends
pray
for
them
as
well.
The
power
of
prayer
is a
wonderful
thing!

They say the true value of a hockey play can be measured by how he responds when his team needs him most, in crucial situations. If so, then defenseman Trevor Ludwig proved his importance to the Texas Stars last week during the Calder Cup Finals.
.... Ludwig performed very well and helped contribute to two fine defensive efforts from the Dallas Stars’ top minor league affiliate. Full Story

Draft
Day
Casualties
A
critical
part
in
building
successful
hockey
teams
is
drafting
and
trading
players.
Coach
Tony
Curtale
and
his
staff
have
proven
to
be
very
astute
in
improving
the
team
every
season.
The
draft
process
involves
a
lot
of
scouting
and
then
careful
positioning
in
order
to
be
able
to
get
the
boys
you
want.
This
weeks
draft
went
well
towards
replenishing
Tornado
talent.
However,
getting
into
position
to
make
your
selections
sometimes
requires
making
trades
and
having
to
say
goodbye
is a
regrettable
part
of
the
process.

Day three saw even more intensity as the players made the most of their chances in hoping to be recognized and named to the All Star roster. Those that did put on quite show for the fans and the coaches in a real game atmosphere. How many will be back in the fall is in the hands of Tony and his staff as evaluate the performance of these boys from this camp and the and all the camps. Some will make it, but most won't. That is hockey and and becoming a Tornado is not attainable for every player that wants to wear the black and gold - or dull bronze as it will be this year. Photos - Mark Simpson
Day Two - Dallas Pre-Draft Tryout Camp
Day two saw 4 scrimmage games plus a goalie session, all making it a long day for the boys and the coaching staff. Play intensified Saturday as every minute of ice time is so important i to show what you have for the coaches. Photos - Mark Simpson
I came away from tonight's Town Hall Meeting which introduced the new ownership group I can't say I have ever been more excited with the direction our team is heading. There will be much more information coming from the Tornado and other sources but suffice to say the Tornado are in good hands and under sound management equipped and dedicated to returning the Tornado Hockey Club to its position as the premier team in the NAHL. This ownership group and their resources I believe are just what we need. webeditor
Opening Day - Dallas Pre-Draft Tryout Camp
Over seventy players hit the ice on opening day of the tryout camp. They came from all over the US and Canada in hopes of impressing the coaches and making the 2001/2011 Tornado hockey team. They have three grueling days to get it done and they really put their hearts in it. Dress warm and come on out to watch the action. Schedule
Looks like the Corpus Christi IceRays could be moving to the NAHL ranks too. Like Amarillo, who were accepted earlier this this week by NAHL, the IceRays could also be leaving the CHL minor pros to play Junior A. more

Sully Off to Maine The Texas Tornado is proud to announce that goaltender Dan Sullivan has committed to the University of Maine for the 2010-11 season. Sullivan played in 51 regular season games for the Tornado this past season, posting a 3.08 GAA, 1575 saves, and .912 save percentage. During five playoffs games for the Tornado Sullivan had a 1.65 GAA, 185 saves, and .949 save percentage.
“Sully started at a high level this year and because of his work ethic and willingness to learn just better and better. Dan is going to an outstanding program at Maine and I have no doubt that he will be a big factor in their future success,” says Head Coach Tony Curtale. “I have coached several big time goaltenders in the past like Ben Bishop, Al Montoya, Dave McKee, Brandon Crawford-West, Ron Vogel, and Sullivan is right there with that group.”
Former Alumni Ben Bishop who attended Maine from 2006-08 and led the team to two Final Four appearance before leaving early to play for the St. Louis Blues and the Peoria Rivermen (AHL). Maine has appeared in 17 NCAA tournaments, 11 Frozen Fours, earned 5 Hockey East Championships, and 2 NCAA Championships.
St. Louis Bandits Advance To Robertson Cup Play For the fourth consecutive year, the Bandits will represent the NAHL South in the tournament to determine the National Champions. The Bandits who came within 12 seconds of being eliminated by the Tornado in game five of the first round, went on to yet another game five eliminating the Topeka Road Runners. The Bandits are three time defending NAHL champs and will be vying for a fourth title.
Many Tornado fans will be rooting for the Bandits, normally our bitter enemy, to keep the Cup in the South Division to maintain our pride of calling the South the most dominate division in the NAHL.

Sure, we're sad for our boy's as they came so very close but they have won too in our hearts. They gain the respect of our fans and the Bandit fans to for level of competition they showed in the series. The Bandits are very talented, very well coached and have the record to prove that. For our boys to arise to the level where we matched a team of the caliber of the Bandits is our vindication.
Yesterday was the last game for many of our boys as they leave the Jr level. They are sad to leave and not win the game after coming so close but I hope and trust with a little time, they will realize how much they really accomplished. All our boys came together as a team and made everyone one proud. The younger players who come back next season will have the taste of what it means to play at this level and be leaders to the new boys coming in. Congratulations Bandits. You earned the right to move on and may you do well in the tournament.

Referee Kevin Webinger issued a game ejection to Curtale prior to pregame warmups. The ruling was overturned by NAHL commissioner Mark Frankenfeld after a phone appeal, according to Blues board president Chris Kolb. The flare-up between Webinger and Curtale followed a warning to Curtale and Maher to temper their behavior on the bench during the game due to a heated verbal exchange between players from each team prior to the start of warmups.

Ian
Braun
(5'11/180)
took
the
Bandits Isak
Quakenbush
(6'5/230)
to
the
woodshed.
Very
good
tilt
and
a
long
one
too.
In
the
end
big
boy
proved
he
was
pretty
good
at
blocking
Ian's
punches...
with
his
face.
WMUBroncos:
Freshman
defenseman
Matt
Tennyson
picked
up his
first
collegiate
assist
in his
first
career
game.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
of
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
take
care
of
these
boys.
You
do
not
know
how
much
it
means
to
me
that
my
son
is
cared
for
so
much
by
so
many
people.
There
aren't
enough
words
for
me
to
say
again....
thank
you,
The
TTBC
Executive
Board
met
with
Team
President
and
Head
Coach
Tony
Curtale
to
go
over
ideas
for
the
upcoming
season.
One
of
the
more
important
things
discussed
was
what
we
we
want
to
sell
at
our
table
this
season.
We
will
of
course
still
have
the
ever
popular
player
buttons,
and
horns!
Other
possible
things
we
might
do
this
season
include
a
player
auction
where
you
will
be
able
to
have
dinner
with
your
favorite
player,
a
pumpkin
auction,
and
possibly
even
a
golf
tournament!
The
booster
club
is
very
excited
to
work
with
the
Tornado
to
help
make
this
season
a
great
success.
Coach
Curtale
has
also
said
there
might
be a
chance
to
help
support
the
U18
team
by
volunteering
during
tournaments
here
at
home.
Tony
is
very
thankful
for
all
the
booster
club
has
done
to
help
him
and
the
players
during
tryouts.
Be
sure
to
check
the
TTBC
website
on a
regular
basis
so
you
can
stay
up
to
date
on
what
we're
doing
to
prepare
for
the
season.

Give it a
try!!

meet
some
awesome
young
men
as
they
try
to
make
our
team.

chance
to

one
with
the
best
coach
in
all
of
Jr.
hockey.
This
will
event
will
be
open
to
current

and
potential

too
so
they
can
meet
us
and
we
can
twist
some
arms.
No
one
will
be
allowed
to
go
home
before
joining!!
Training
Camp
Tailgate:
We

all

of
putting
some
burgers
and
dogs
on
the
barbe

What
a
better
way
to
welcome
these
