| The sky man he will fly us to America |
As local hockey team the Black Aces continue to struggle in the 2018-2019 season, at least one Ace has an excuse for not showing up at the team's most recent game.
Aces' kite surfing enthusiast Joe P. was reportedly seen inside the migrant caravan now making its way from Honduras to the US border.
"I caught a pretty big wave and then a really big wind gust." said Joe, via satellite phone. Mr. P. was at a kite surfing competion in Baja Mexico last week when he was unexpectedly transported 2,000 kilometers to the southern border with Guatemala. "I've been blown ashore many times in the past, but this is ridiculous" reported Joe as he hoisted his kite onto a donkey cart driven by Hector Gonsolvez of La Ceiba Honduras. "We worship the sky man as our god now" mumbled Hector, in surprising good English. "He will help us to fly to America, and maybe to Canada to see these Black Aces."
Side note: Aces fans may remember that time the team were featured on Mexican cable television back in 2013.
Ironically, Joe was within meters of winning the kite surfing competition but was disqualified for exiting the official competition zone. "He looked fantastic, but those are the rules." reported Mexican surf judge Hector Gonsolvez of Playa Encanto. "Close, but no cigarillo, amigo."
The Aces too came close in their most recent game, falling 5-2 to the Battlers in what was actually a good performance from the team. An empty net goal and a couple of weird bounces put the game out of reach in spite of a solid game from just about everyone in a black sweater.
The Aces were missing a 2 Petes, 2 Joes (see above) and a Simon for this game.
As the saying goes, close but no cigarillo.
Later, amigos.
