The Texas Aces Squirt Fausel team showed what playing as a team can do this past weekend. After winning their first game vs. Odessa they went on to a hard fought 3-3 tie with a crafty Bay Area squad. This left a match up with the San Antonio Thunder which always produces a close match. The Aces prevailed 4-1 setting up a rematch in the Championship game with San Antonio.

In the Colorado Cup Tournament the Texas Aces Bantam Sharon team went 5-0: 2-2, 3-3, 5-0, 6-0, 4-3 OT. The Championship game against the Colorado Springs, Jr. TIgers was a tough fought game with the Aces tying the game in the 3rd period. Three minutes into overtime Eric Rowat stuffed a pass from Camden Debonis into the goal for the game winning goal. It was a great hockey tournament with all players contributing. Goalies James Brown and Chris Neukranz played exceptionally solid in all games. We played right by USA Hockey Headquarters and skated two games on the bigger international ice surface. Thanks to all the parents for the wonderful support. Great job!
