Monsters Weekly Storylines
Monsters goaltender Ivan Kulbakov, a native of Gomel, Belarus, was the second-best goaltender in the USHL last season with the Youngstown Phantoms. Which USHL backstop bested-him? None other than the Sioux City Musketeers' Matiss Kivlenieks, a native of Riga, Latvia, who claimed USHL Goaltender and Player of the Year honors last season and now shares the goal crease with Kulbakov in Cleveland. A profile of these two rivals-turned-teammates, both navigating their first professional seasons as foreign-born AHL'ers, would provide another chapter in truism that the hockey world is a small one. This season, the Monsters are honoring Northeast Ohio servicemen and women, and military veterans, at every Friday-night home game through the team's "Hockey for Heroes" Program. Presented in conjunction with the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, the Monsters provide veterans and their families with tickets to a game and a behind-the-scenes Meet-and-Greet with a Monsters player after the game. For more information on the Monsters' "Hockey for Heroes" Program, visit the Monsters online at ClevelandMonsters.com .
