What players say...

"Going to KC might have been the best decision of my minor league career. My teammates welcomed my girlfriend and me with open arms, and the rink atmosphere was as good or better than any I had experienced before in pro or college hockey. Mavs fans are some of the nicest people you'll meet and lastly, the BBQ joints in Kansas City are world-class."
