Aces Undefeated in this Decade

Yes. A Lego Zamboni. Because why not?

Local hockey team the Black Aces ran their record for the 2020s to a sparkling 2 and 0 this past week as they cruised to yet another victory over perennial whipping boys the Warriors. Once a proud team with a winning record, the Warriors are now but a shadow of their former selves.

The Aces tried to bolster the Warriors’ lineup by loaning them 2 players and a new pair of skates, but it was not enough. Not even a traitorous goal late in the game from 3PeteD was enough, and the blackshirts took the game 5-3. A pair of goals from Bruce H plus a hat-trick from Paul M was enough to seal the W.

Aces goalie John Goalie was back in the net after successful surgery to re-attach his catching hand, which was put to occasional use during the game.

This game followed a decisive victory over the Wyse Guys in the opening game of the new decade, a game your humble scribe was unable to attend but which, he has been assured, was a thing of beauty.

The Aces are split on whether to continue the season or call it a decade, however, and have split into two opposing camps.

“It’s been a good run” said winger and inexpert shot-blocker Jake G. “I say we go out on a high note.”

Not all Aces agree. Team cryptobiologist Martin L favours completing the season “Or at least until Pete S can play one more game and start a riot. We owe him that much, don’t we?”

Other options include inviting all former Aces players back for one more game (current players will watch from the stands or run the bench as the the old-timers take the ice), challenging the other teams to a rock-paper-scissors-spock tournament instead of the playoffs, or just meeting at Ferro’s every wednesday night for some beers and a couple of pies.
