Off-field moves

For the 2013 season, the Cavalry hired rookie head coach Ryan Lingenfelder to replace longtime head coach Dan "Majic" Maciejczak. [2] Lingenfelder served as defensive coordinator of the Tri-Cities Fever for the previous three seasons. [3]

Shortly before the 2013 season began, the owner of the Cheyenne Warriors died which forced that team to suspend operations and the IFL to revise its schedule to accommodate the now 9-team league. [4] The Cavalry had been scheduled to play two games against the projected in-state rival. [5]

The April 5 game against the Tri-Cities Fever was promoted as Meals on Wheels Drivers & Staff Appreciation Night. The May 3 game against the Colorado Ice was "Feed Casper Night" and Helping the Natrona County Homeless Children. The May 11 game against Tri-Cities was "Fly Casper Night" plus a "Ladies Wine Tasting & Fundraiser" for Crossroads Kitchen. The May 31 home finale versus the Cedar Rapids Titans will be "Breast Cancer Awareness Night". [6]

Barney O'Donnell III, a former St. Ambrose University standout and 2006 Cedar Rapids Gazette Athlete of the Year, joined the Cavalry to start the 2013 season as the team's primary quarterback. [7]
