Monsters Weekly Storylines

Cleveland recently completed a season-long seven-game, 13-day road trip through the Central Division featuring stops in Rockford, IL, Chicago, Des Moines, IA, Milwaukee, WI, and Grand Rapids, MI. A profile of the trek's total miles logged, transactions executed, and other particulars, would paint a comprehensive picture of what life in the AHL is like on a day-to-day basis. The Monsters have yet to name a captain for the 2017-18 season and have instead opted to rely on a group of five or six skaters among whom the assistant captain's "A" is rotated on a day-to-day basis. This sort of leadership-by-committee system is somewhat unique in the American Hockey League and highlights the deep well of leadership on this year's Monsters team.

The Cleveland Monsters are the American Hockey Leagues' proud Affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. The Monsters are a part of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena organization also owned by a group led by Cavaliers Chairman and Quicken Loans Founder Dan Gilbert. The group also owns and operates the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League playing at Quicken Loans Arena and the Canton Charge of the NBA G League playing in nearby Canton, Ohio at the Canton Civic Center.
