Unfortunately, the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders were swept by Dubuque this past Saturday night in the first round of the USHL playoffs.

Putting that aside, it was still a great season for the Riders. The team won 39 games. They finished second in the USHL's Eastern Conference. They clinched a playoff spot. I'd say that's a great season in anyone's books. It says a lot about the success of this organization, and the coach that leads them, when a season like this is deemed disappointing.

My apologies for the delay in posting this final podcast. I was waiting to post until the Riders were in playoff action, but this is a good opportunity to catch up with this squad one final time.

Thanks again to the RoughRiders for making the time. Thanks to the Union Station for having us every week. Finally, thanks to all of you fans who came out for the live broadcasts -- I know the players and coaches really appreciated the fan support.
