It seems like just yesterday the 2012-13 ECHL season had just started, and I was still struggling to spell (much less pronounce) a bunch of the Walleye players’ names.

Due to the ECHL All-Star Classic last Wednesday, the Walleye entered the weekend well rested for a stretch of three games in three nights. Add a few familiar faces back from the “A,” and it was a mostly successful homecoming for the fish.
