To find the last time the FLYING ACES lost 4
games in a row you would have to go way back to the tail end of the ACES 7th
season in the Federal C. The league at that point was called the Aspen Ice
Adult Hockey League. WHACK-A-MOLE was still a member of that league. The ACES
had yet to win the championship. The Rolling Stones had never played in Cuba
and David Bowie was still alive. Back in that 7th season, the FLYING ACES fell
to the BOMBERS 7-4, the SHAMROCKS 7-5, the HITMEN 5-0 and in the first round of
the playoffs, the MULLIGANS 6-3. And now the nose diving FLYING ACES have done
it again, blowing a 4-0 3rd period lead and losing in a late night shootout to
the FLYING DUTCHMEN. Nick Minarik gave his ACES 2 periods of shutout hockey,
Josh Lovering scored twice with laser slapshots from the other side of the
county, Craig Jones brought one of the best 'Ace Cases' ever and Bill Marcolini
scored a goal. But none of this mattered. It was to be a DUTCHMEN night.
The
ACES lose 4 straight and fall to 5-4-2. They sit in 5th place in the league
known as the Federal C. With the playoffs looming just around the corner, the
FLYING ACES need Darren Jones back from IR and they need Lou Johnson back on
the roster regularly. Up next is a nasty contest with the battle ready BOMBERS.
Holding the A.S. Cup and hungry for the regular season sweep of the ACES, the
B-Boys are coming to town Sunday, April 3, for a 10:30 puck drop.
