Brooklyn Aces. New Team, New League, New Challenges.


Greetings from the Brooklyn Aces Try-Out Camp! The Aces are part of the new Eastern Professional Hockey League (EPHL).
I've signed on as the equipment manager for what should be an amazing inaugural season.

Our league is starting with five teams:
Brooklyn Aces
Copper City Chiefs (Rome, NY)
Danbury Mad Hatters.
New Hampshire Freeze (Exeter)
New Jersey Rockhoppers (West Orange)

In a 50 game schedule we're going to be seeing an awful lot of each other so I'm pretty sure the rivalries are going to be fierce. I'll be updating here throughout the season to give you a behind the scenes view of life with the Aces.

Today we've got our first Try-Out Camp. Players born and bred in Brooklyn are here as well as guys from Slovakia, Russia, and Australia. Right now we've got our off-ice testing followed by player meetings and on-ice workouts.

Tomorrow we are open to the public from 10:30am-1:45 pm. Fans will be able to watch one of our two games as well as be part of the Aces Youth Clinic.

Stay tuned for more!
