The FLYING
ACES were juiced to play an exciting game against the rival SHAMROCKS in
prime-time at Aspen Ice Arena. It was easily the ACES largest crowd of the
season. Even the FLYING ACE EuroVan was filled to capacity with
players and fans alike. One problem... The SHAMROCKS didn't show. Do to
SHAMROCK scheduling error, there was no game to be
played. AIAHL Federal C league Commissioner, Bill
Auld, said the game counted as an official win for the FLYING ACES, who came
ready to play. The forfeit win put the ACES back to .500 and jumped them out of
the Federal C basement and into 4th place. And as we all know, with
each ACE win, a 'First Star Patch' is handed out. And this one
very deservedly went to first time recipient, Mike Gianetti who,
against a strong recommendation from the team trainer, suited up to
play despite a serious lower body injury.
Since
'Donnie' Donahue brought an awesome ACE CASE and the majority of the
team was there, including Kevin Brown and Steve Leoszewski (up
from Perkasie). And the ACES were dawning the new RDS Solution
sponsored 'bad guy' Black jerseys. And the crowed needed to be entertained, the
ACES decided to take a team photo and play the first ever inner-squad game. It
was Team Marcolini vs. Team Donahue. And what a fantastic battle
it was. Team Donahue ended up winning 6-3, but both sides played like
it was a real game.
The ACES are back at
it Sunday, March 15 for an AS Cup battle against those pesky BOMBERS.
