Cincinnati Cyclones to Be Renamed ‘Coneys’ for March 11 Game

Sometimes the Cincinnati Cyclones are good enough to eat.

The Cyclones will test that theory on Friday, March 11, when the team becomes the Cincinnati Coneys for a home game against the Wheeling Nailers.

The local food theme continues in that night’s giveaway: a bobblehead of Cyclones — er, Coneys — head coach Jason Payne holding a big-old Skyline three-way (available to the first 3,000 ticketed fans). The team also will be wearing Coneys jerseys on the ice.

“Do you think @JasonPayne67 cuts or twirls?” the Cyclones recently asked its Twitter followers.

“Only one way to find out!” Skyline shot back.

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 11, at Heritage Bank Center. Tickets start at $19 and are still available. See the Cyclones’ other promotions and special-event games.
