CEDAR RAPIDS — He was fatigued, weary, wiped out, exhausted. Just plain dog tired.

“I’m dead right now,” Jeff Costello said Sunday afternoon. “That last game, oh, my legs. I had no legs. It was like I was skating in cement.”

You can’t really blame the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders winger. It has been nonstop hockey for him the last week.

Costello flew Wednesday night from his home in Milwaukee to Toronto to be part of the National Hockey League’s Entry Draft Combine. After two days of grueling mental and physical work there, he flew back home, hopped in a car and drove to Cedar Rapids for the final two days of the RoughRiders’ 2009-10 tryout camp.
