Not much to say here, folks.  The season is over.  The temperatures are climbing. I wish all this rain would end some time.  In the news front there isn’t much happening, but here is what I could dig up for you.

Dmitry Orlov’s KHL team posted a post-season interview. RMNB did us the favor of posting the translation. [RMNB]

A couple former Bear teammates are coaching their current ECHL teams in the Kelly Cup finals. [Mlive]

Cody Eakin’s WHL team, the Kootenay Ice won the Ed Chynoweth Cup as Western Hockey League Champions. [WHL]

With the win, the Ice qualified for the Memorial Cup tournament. Follow the action when it starts May 20th. [Memorial Cup]

Proving not all Winnipeg reporters are bad, Ashley Prest of the Winnipeg Free Press talks to Eakin. [WFP]

The Caps put together a video package highlighting the Bears 2010-2011 season. [Caps]

Jay Feaster, who is a Harrisburg native and former Bears GM was named as the GM of the Calgary Flames. [Flames]

I stumbled upon Alena’s blog.  She has a couple write ups about the Bears.  One thing that I will correct you on, Alena, is that the Bears DO have a pre-game warm up skate just like the Caps. [fan guide, traditions]
