Alaska Aces News Release
Anchorage, Alaska â The Anchorage Aces left Idaho 0-2, but with reason for optimism after a tough 4-2 loss on Saturday night that was largely due to ineffectiveness on special teams.
The Aces finished the series, which included a 6-2 defeat on Friday, with only one goal in 22 power play opportunities, while Idaho scored three times in just 11 tries. The Steelheads also enjoyed a commanding 73-35 bulge in shots on goal over the weekend. Veterans Dean Larson (two goals in Friday's loss) and Kimbi Daniels (three assists, 16 PIM in two games) provided much of the offense while Christian Soucy (63 saves) looked solid between the pipes despite absorbing both losses.
The Aces travel to Bakersfield Saturday night before a Sunday afternoon battle with defending Taylor Cup champion Fresno. Anchorage posted a 4-3-1 record against the Condors last year and holds a 37-20-8 edge lifetime in the series, its best record against any of the league's existing teams. The Aces also enjoyed a winning record (4-3-1) against the Falcons during the 2001-02 campaign, including two wins in Fresno. Coverage begins Saturday night at 5:45 p.m. ADT and Sunday at 3:45 p.m. ADT. Jack Michaels handles the play-by-play duties for all games on KFQD 750 AM, presented by GCI.
Aces' Faces: Defenseman Dave Csumrik will be at Elmendorf Air Force Base Tuesday, October 15th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. to sign autographs at the Commissary. Vice President of Sales & Marketing Colby Coward appeared at the Fireman Badge Promotion at Assembly Chambers last Tuesday.
