Kelusky amped for his return

March 7th, 2008 by Bob Chavez

Dennis Rodman won’t be there to drop the ceremonial faceoff like he was in January of 2007, but would anyone in Calgary even notice if he were? Not if TK is on the floor.

The Roughnecks have waited eight games for this and by all accounts, it looks like the wait is over. Tracey Kelusky will be back on the floor for Saturday’s game against the Portland LumberJax, telling The Calgary Sun that he’s 95-percent sure he’ll play after missing all that time with concussion symptoms. The forward played the first game of the season with Calgary, then hurt himself in practice the following week and hasn’t played since.

“I’m just excited,” Kelusky told the newspaper. “This is the first time I’m on the positive side in terms of me playing. I personally think I’m about 95 percent to play this weekend.”

Only a contact practice tonight stands in the way of his clearing to be returned and if free tickets to the game isn’t enough to get fans in the seats, the return of TK should seal the deal.
