The ramp up to the season has begun, albeit the most difficult part. Cannonfest 2015 is in the books, and it was a dandy. Hosted at Dick's Last Resort, right in the shadows of Nationwide Arena, the event filled another venue. A festival of hockey in the dark days of the off season, Cannonfest allows for some hockey renewal as we start the countdown towards the Traverse City tournament for prospects.
With the compensation of the summer weather, these are some of the hardest times for a hockey fan. Free Agency excitement is long past, and all you can do is count the days till training camp.
