Flying Ace - Where Are They Now?

After capturing the FIAHL Championship in early Winter 2015, the Flying Aces disbanded and all went separate ways.  Here is where they are today (from right to left in above photo):

Eric K - Eric's visa expired and he returned to native Mexico in the Spring of 2016.  He continues to skate to this day with the Tijuana White Dragons as a third line center in the Agave Roller League. 

Darren J - Darren remained in local Hunterdon in the days following the cup win.  Eventually he returned to Boise in February of that year to continue his "Idaho - more than the Potato" marketing campaign. 

Craig J - Craig continued to play ice hockey at FIA. He is a plus 37 in 310 minutes of work for the once rival Bombers.

Matt S - Matt graduated from Harvard in January of 2016 but kept focus on his hockey career.  He is currently the top line center of the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.

Mike P - After never being able to put one finger in the air (photo above), Mike resumed physical therapy at Hunterdon Medical Center and was successfully released after gaining this ability.  Since then, he has finished second in several table tennis tournaments and sales contests only adding frustration to his new found ability.

Donnie D - Most famous for scoring outside the blue line, Donnie could never return to his scoring ways.  His book, My Life in the Neutral Zone, went on to sell over 1000 copies.

Mike G/Kyle T. - Shortly after this photo, Mike was surgically separated from his conjoined brother, Kyle T.  Mike plans to finally get a right footed skate and rehab towards a return to C league hockey. Kyle plans to go camping.  Mike and Kyle T remain tied for the record for most "Too Many Men on the Ice" penalties in Federal League history.  The Aces played them as one skater, the league viewed them as two.  This record remains in the appeal process.

Nick B - After the brief stint as a hockey goalie, Nick returned as web designer for the Flying Aces blog.  He is currently working on the Season 11 Season stats shown to the right.  The first two games have already been added.  Great Job Nick!  He is also editing the "Elimination Frustration" column from 4/25/16.

Bill M. - Bill went on to be an eye doctor in Clinton NJ.

Derek W - Derek returned to life as a tattoo artist in Brooklyn.  He remains a hipster doing hipster like things like eating Sunday Brunch in the Village, living in Jamesburg, wearing skinny jeans, etc.

Ryan B - Once the heart and sole of the Flying Aces, Ryan became ridiculed for his Bleck Lives Matter campaign in late 2016.  He's currently on tour with Jefferson Starship, replacing Paul Kantner on lead guitar.

Steve L - Steve's hockey ability improved drastically after this photo was taken.  He can now skate backwards and forward including cross overs and C cuts.

Josh L - Josh went on to be an eye doctor in Clinton NJ.

Bubba M - Bubba recently starred in Raritan Valley College's production of the 1987 Box Office  hit "Over the Top".  He played the part of Michael Cutler, son of Arm wrestling phenom, Lincoln Hawk, to critical exclaim.

Kevin S. - Kevin went on to be an eye doctor in Clinton NJ.
