(b) There hasn't been too many surprises in the career of Cillian Kavanagh so for - which is a good thing I would say. The biggest change, or I guess you could say surprise was Cillian's time with the San Francisco Pride. It was shorter than originally hoped. Kavanagh was drafted 22nd overall in the S52 SHL Entry Draft by the San Francisco Pride. He was so excited to finally belong to an SHL organization even though he wouldn't see his first SHL action until 3 seasons later in S55. "Such a storied franchise I am just glad to be apart of" was Kavanagh's comments to the media after his first SHL start with the Pride. However, the Pride were going through management turmoil with a GM stepping down and struggling to find a replacement. The team would finish last in their division in S55 only winning 16 games out of 50. Cillian looked motivated to help get this organization back on track next season but San Francisco would finish dead last again in the Southwest Division only managing to win 4 of their games. Cillian was frustrated as management decided it would be time for a rebuild. Fortunately the GM was great to Cillian and knew he would be better off with another organization with a better shot for the cup. Cillian made a huge change which came as a surprise to many people and joined the Texas Renegades. This monumental change in Kavanagh's career will hopefully be the biggest surprise and last change Kavanagh will endure.
