“To be able to have an athlete such as Carson Palmer would be a major addition to this year’s club” said Cyclones Head Coach Jarrod Skalde. “Palmer’s leadership and command of a game in the offensive zone should help our squad this season. His skating ability, stick handling skills, and slapshot have yet to be seen but growing up in the hockey hotbed of Fresno, California…one can only think he’s a natural
