The office of the new Cincinnati coaching staff underwent a remodeling earlier this week. Incoming assistant coach Scott Fankhouser nudged his desk next to
authentic San Francisco 49ers jerseys boss Jarrod Skalde, and the work pretty much was done. "We're good. We just moved a desk around," Fankhouser said. "We moved them more at an
authentic San Francisco 49ers jersey angle so we can talk easier. We're doing the nuts and bolts of the buses, the hotels. Now we're ready to get down to talking hockey." That will be the easiest part of their jobs -- because the two men have a decade's head start on it.
Fankhouser, named an assistant with the Cyclones last week, and Skalde go back to the 2000-01 Orlando Solar Bears of the IHL, where they were teammates. The next season they played together with
authentic 49ers jerseys the AHL Chicago Wolves. "I knew he'd be a coach once he was done playing," Fankhouser said of Skalde. "He was a student of the game. The guys respected him." Fankhouser didn't have as clear a vision about his own future. His last season playing was 2008-09, with Bloomington of
authentic 49ers jersey the IHL. Skalde coached that team, and when Fankhouser suffered an ankle injury during the season, Skalde asked him to help out as an assistant. "I didn't even know I would enjoy coaching that much until that year in Bloomington," Fankhouser said. "Just after that, I was excited to do it."
