Four of a Kind for the Aces

Fourteen winners.

Four score and twenty months ago, the Aces were the
fourth best team in a 
four team league. Finishing in
fourth place every year was a 
foregone conclusion. Players felt
fortunate to just keep it close. Be-
fore too long, however, the team began to improve, and to 
forge a new identity. 
Former players were replaced with new talent, 
foreshadowing future success. Fast
forward to 2016 and the Aces have now won
four championships in a row. The other teams can no longer af-
ford to take the Aces lightly. This season saw the Battlers 
forlorn after the final game, as the Aces  
forced the Battlers to 
fork over the puck time after time, and played with great 
fortitude shift after shift. The 
four defensemen of the apocalypse stood strong, 
forming a wall in front of goalie John M, himself a 
formidable presence in the net. The aces 
forwards played with the energy and skill of a young Peter
Forsberg, keeping the Battlers in their own end by 
forechecking relentlessly. Really, in the end it was a 
foregone conclusion. The Aces would win for a 
fourth straight year. 

Final score: Aces 6, Battlers 3. 

Goals by Ralph, Rod, Mark, Mike, Pete S, and Bruce.
