SHAMS Edge ACES

The FLYING ACES returned home Tuesday night for an FIAHL, Federal C, game of the week match up with the SHAMROCKS. The ACES started their 117th game with the unveiling of the BD esigns, 'FLYING ACE Hockey Club' board art, sponsored by RDS Solutions. Matt Donahue was on the 'Ace Case'. Derek Weaver and Craig Jones were on IR and Bubba McCabe was a healthy scratch. The ACES recalled Eric Amedeo from Perkasie but he was unable to make the game.

The SHAMROCKS, skating considerably faster then there MULLIGAN sister squad, scored first. The goal came midway through the first period. And it was a shame because Nick 'The Brick' was having the game of his life in net. Several minutes after the goal Minarik stopped a beauty of a penalty shot powered by Soupie Mojo and he continued to make eye popping saves for the remainder of the contest. Early in the second Mike 'The Machine' Petersen scored the equilizer on a salty unassisted wrist shot that appeared to go five hole, from this press box. Then it seemed our FLYING ACES were plagued with penalties. And with a short bench, each SHAMROCK power play was a bit more dangerous than the last. And eventually they broke through on a power play late in the third to take a 2-1 lead. That score would hold to the end.

The ACES are back on the road tonight as they face the FLYING DUTCHMEN for only the second time. The FLYING ACES are looking for a big road win that would put them at 3-1-0. The puck drops at 7:15 at the Ghostly Dock Ice Center in Hunterdon New Jersey. Single bleacher seats are still available.
