Local hockey team the Black Aces continued to roll into the 2015-2016 season in the W column this past week as they held on to defeat a determined Warriors squad 4-3. Goals by Mark, Joe, Aubrey and Pete S were enough to offset the Warriors and a questionable slapshot no-goal + penalty = Warriors goal.
The Aces D was in fine form too, especially with the return of Gerry, Simon and pirate-in-training Al, all missing from Game 1. Maybe too fine? New goalie and former Aces stalker John is already so comforatable behind the Aces D that he has begun experimenting with new and novel ways to corral shots coming from beyond the centre red line. He still hasn't perfected his technique but the rest of the Aces are looking forward to more of John's hilariously creative "puckstopping" over the course of the 2015-2016 season.
In other big news, the Aces are set to welcome the newest addition to an already foridable lineup: Alex K, formerly of the Russian Federation and now working towards a Canadian citizenship. Pro tip, Alex - don't wear a niqab when you take the oath, it upsets the locals.

Alex, the Aces are no strangers to Things That Are Russian. You can catch up on some of that history in these vintage blog posts:
- Russian Federation annexes Black Aces
- Aces Training Program Pays Dividends
- Aces Hacked by Russian Cyber Criminals
Another late game this week, this time against the Battlers. Победы!!
