Jacob Hayhurst joins Firebirds, hopes to be part of something special

by

While the Coachella Valley Firebirds players, coaches and fans were fully immersed in Firebirds-mania here in the desert during their remarkable debut season, it’s fair to wonder what was the perception of the team outside of the desert.

Across the AHL, were players on other teams taking notice of what was going on here or were we just in our own bubble?

Well, the newest member of the Firebirds family, Jacob Hayhurst, offered some insight.

“The rest of the league was definitely taking notice, and players were talking and hearing all about what was happening in Coachella,” said the 26-year-old Hayhurst, who signed an AHL deal with the Firebirds on Aug. 2. “And then for them to make it all the way to the final and come so close, people saw the sellouts and the atmosphere and what was going on out there.”
