Inductees include notables ranging from those who contributed to establishing the foundation of Aces hockey, helping guide the Aces to their first Kelly Cup championship and elevating the game night experience for fans at Sullivan Arena.
The inaugural class, inducting Keith Street, Dean Larson, Kimbi Daniels, Mike Scott, public address voice Bob Lester and longtime season ticket holder Bobby Hill, was selected from nominations in contribution by Aces season ticket holders, solicited beginning in November and recognizing those who have demonstrated meritorious service which has made a long-lasting impact on the Alaska Aces organization. The inaugural class of the Aces Hall of Fame will be honored during the first intermission of games on Friday and Saturday, presented each with a plaque and wear uniquely designed jerseys exclusive to the Hall of Fame class, scheduled to be unveiled at time of inauguration.
The two nights will also feature jerseys worn by the Aces in pregame warmup and game action inclusive of a throwback design including a navy colored base, gold striping along the sleeves and gold numbers on the back of the jerseys, celebrated in partnership with Anchorage Centennial.
Game worn Anchorage Centennial jerseys will be made available for bidding in a postgame auction to all fans in attendance immediately following Saturday's game.
