'Twas the game before Christmas, two thousand fifteen
At the league semi-finals, the ACES chasing the dream.
The DUTCHMEN came angry and ready for action
To avenge Donny’s goal and its goal chain reaction.
While their children were home in their beds and asleep
The FLYING ACES recalled the full season sweep.
And from the drop of the puck their attack it was blinding
Punching holes in the defense and the goalie behind them.
Relentless was Johnson also known as ‘Juvy’ Lou.
Leoszewski scored one goal Lovering scored two.
God gave the earth Jesus, One hell of a gift.
To the ACES, from the heavens, he gave Kevin Smith.
Who tallied a hat-trick and assisted a goal.
That’s an 8 point post season from that heavenly soul.
Marcolini and Stockwell and their grind line played tight.
Though rarely attacking they were even on the night.
But the refs calls became slanted not in a good way
So we ranted and panted and killed power plays.
Suddenly Turner, both brilliant and bold,
in short-handed fashion, scored a break away goal.
Then the DUTCHMAN roared back with conviction and vigor.
Cycling and passing and pulling the trigger.
With the lead cut to three, then to two, then to one
They grabbed the momentum, we were under the gun.

We frantically skated, Petersen playing D
Out there with Weaver and sometimes with me.
And with two minutes left the time ran so slowly.
We put out our best line and they pulled their goalie.
In dramatic fashion we won 6 to 7.
A big thanks to Josh, Steve, Kyle, and Kevin.
And how about our goalie, St. Nick Minarik?
Side to side, sixty saves. Blocker, glove, stick and kick.
He stopped two penalty shots on the way to the win.
Let’s sign him to ten years, then sign him again.
The ACE Cap to defensemen, Mike Gianetti, an honor that tops anything under the tree.
Kusznier took ‘First Star’, he had two assists.
He was awarded the game patch and the ACE Christmas gift.
Then out in the lot Captain Jones gave us the nod.
So sad that he missed it, so proud of his squad.
He said "Cheers to the ACES and our 66th win.
Headed back to the finals with the SHAMROCKS again."
And what luck for the rookie Young Bubba McCabe.
His first season the finals the kids got it made.
So on this winter morning with your loved ones at home
Have a very merry Christmas and…
