Hey. I was meaning to post a bit earlier in the day, but DAMN things got rolling quick.

Started out with our goalie eval at 8:30 am. Then went into our first RED vs WHITE game at 10:30. We had a great turn-out from the fans already which is really encouraging.

Red dominated the first half (the game is split into two 25 min periods) thanks to a pretty quick first line, but White came back in the second. It picked up physically, gloves hit the ice, it's hockey.

Coach Chris Firriolo is leading the youth clinic right now with some of the boys and we're looking forward to our next game at 6:00 pm.

Guys I really like are Jesse Felton and Chris Holmes. They had great chemistry working on the first line for Red throughout the game. I'd love to post more, but I've gotta get back to work.

Thanks to everybody who has come out.

Congressman Anthony Weiner suits up for the Aces....Kind of.

Representative Anthony D. Weiner (D – Brooklyn and Queens) and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz announced today. The “Brooklyn Aces”, a single ‘A’ level team in the Eastern Professional Hockey League (EPHL), will start their season in November.

Gotta admit, the jersey looks damn good.

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!
