Beloved long-time Aces veteran Rich W. has announced his retirement from the team. Citing a desire to 'spend more time with family', Rich has decided to hang up the blades for now.
"I loved playing for this team" he said via phone link from the family compound in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "But family comes first."
Family massage therapist Maria del Felacion insisted that the big man's presence was needed at the compound. "We have to practice our technique on a regular basis, or we risk to lose our massaging license. Senor Ricardo - I mean Uncle Rich - has graciously agreed to help us."

| Gracias Senor Ricardo! |
Family bartender Selma Gonsolvez was also full of praise for the Canadian hockey legend. "At great cost to himself has Senor Ricardo - I mean Uncle Rich - given his time and personal expertise to us here at Saloon Cabo. Without his expert advice our drink mixing skills would soon desert us and we would have to join the caravan to America."

| Important research is being done |
Family golf pro Eliza Golfista told your scribe that Rich's assistance on the links was of vital importance to the continued operation of Club Campestre, the family-owned course in Cabo. "It is of great importance for us to have the input and wise advice of a man such as Senor Ricardo - sorry, Uncle Rich" - said Golfista. "We rely on his experience tremendously. He is so unselfish, sometimes he even plays 36 holes in a single day just to be sure that the course is perfect. He is truly a great man."

| Uncle Rich is muy importante |
The Aces are already missing Senor Ricardo, although maybe not that much since they spanked the Warriors again in their most recent game by a score of 4 or possibly 5 to nothing. Goals courtesy of Pete S, Al, Martin and 3 Pete.
This is definitely the end of an era, however, and Vegas oddsmakers are already revising their lines on the Aces' playoff success, citing a projected lack of game-day chalk-talking to fire up the troops and remind them of their assignments.
