Wednesday October 22 saw the league-leading Aces put together their best turnout in team history as they ran their impressive undefeated streak to the 6 month mark.
A total of 41 players crowded the team dressing room, including some who had not appeared at a league game since 1998. The freakish attendance spike meant the Aces would roll with 12 lines and 4 D plus a goalie.
The deep bench may have been a factor in the Aces' 7-3 spanking of the yellow team, as they were able to ice fresh legs for the entire game. A weary yellow squad just could not keep up with the relentless pressure exerted by the blackshirts, and after a close couple of periods the Aces pulled away for good in the 3rd.
The regulars would like to extend a big 'welcome back' to Mike, Joe, Paul, Brian, Bruce and 26 others whose names are now lost to history. See you in another five years?
Special mentions: to Raj for another solid effort between the pipes, Morris for being cool and efficient on D, and Mike and Joe for aggressive forechecking that led directly to at least two goals. Apologies to Aubrey for forgetting his unforgettable goal from last week. You remember that one, right? That one where he shot the puck and it went in. That's the one.
Next week: Early game.
