Aces Make Surprise Signing

In a move designed to bolster their ranks for the 2012-2013 season, local hockey club the Black Aces have reportedly signed controversial Guantanamo Bay inmate and non-skater Omar Khadr to the team.

Al, Joe, Omar, Raj, Aubrey.

"There's been some kind of a mix-up, actually." said Aces chief scout and contract negotiator Al H in a press conference earlier today. "I meant to sign Nazim Khadri of the Toronto Maple Leafs but by mistake I signed Omar Khadr instead. I'm not very good with ethnic names. Sorry about that."

Khadr is said to be thrilled with his contract, which pays him no money but does entitle him to one tallboy per week, to be consumed in a change room with a dozen or so other half-naked men. No word on whether or not he knows what a tallboy is.

In other hockey news, a Khadr-less Aces team fell 4-2 to league rivals the Warriors. The Aces got off to a quick start, scoring on their first shot on goal, but then decided to ease up for the rest of the first 2 periods. After falling behind 3-1, the blackshirts did put together a decent 3rd period. A goal from team Imam Aubrey S made it appear close for a time but the Warriors bagged another near the end to put the Aces out of their misery.
