In a previous post I mentioned all the professional sports teams that we have here in Cleveland, and I wanted to give a little bit of an update.
When I got back to school this semester I got a text from a friend asking if I wanted to go to a Monsters game. I didn't know exactly what that meant. Was it a euphemism or some inside joke that I didn't get. He wrote a second time and explained that they are a local hockey team.
Not only are there several major league teams in the area, there are several minor league teams that I didn't even know about. The cool thing is that minor league games are often a cheap night out in the middle of winter. Also, a great way to take a break from school without breaking the bank (or limited funds that accompany medical school life).
We have the Monsters, who are a hockey farm team for the Colorado Avalanche and actually a really fun game to watch. In fact the school is planning an outing for two days from now on Thursday. If I wasn't going to be celebrating my wife's birthday that night I would totally be there.
We also have the Canton Charge who are an NBA D-League team. Their season is the same as the NBA so if miss a Cavaliers game you can see them instead. The D stands for Development, so players on their way up to the NBA.
The big announcement for this year though is the addition of an AFL team, the Cleveland Gladiators. The Arena Football League has been around for several years and is actually super fun to watch! I went to a couple arena football games in Denver while I lived there and had a blast every time!
Anyway you look at it, even on the coldest nights in Cleveland there is something to get fired up about.
