The Cyclones are converting at a sorry 9% clip on the pp at home. On the road the team has an almost average 17% conversion rate.

On the penalty kill at home, the Cyclones kill only a pitifully low 67% of penalties successfully. On the road, the team kills an acceptable 80%.

With stats like these, it's no wonder that the team has won only 5 of 15 games at USBA. The Cyclones are capable of acceptable special teams play. Should they be able to bring their fair-to-middling road convert/kill rates to USBA, the Cyclones will be able to turn around their abysmal home ice record.

It's almost impossible to conceive of these south-of-pathetic home ice special teams' numbers to continue for the rest of the season. They almost have to get better due to the law of averages if nothing else
