Hockey fans are happy.
Aeros won 5:1 over the Heat.

Barry Brust in goal for the heat must have had a bad hair day ;-)!
2 Goals AND 2 assists by Larsson netted him the Nr. 1 *.Phillips, Rau and Fontaine got the others. Hackett as the Nr 2* was in the net. 3 goals Larsson,Rau and Fontaine's were on a PP!
For Kolanos fans Krys had the first assist on the only goal by Nemisz for the Heat in front of sparse crowd - less than 3.000.

Dov Grumet Morris of the Rampage did a lot better, he only let in 1 goal by Ebbett in the 3rd. for the Wolves. While Rallo(Miskovich and McFarland) scored first for rampage and Hamill unassisted brought home the winner. The loud and boisterous crowd of almost 11,000 went home happy! Armed Forces Night.

After this exciting fast paced game with relatively few penalties and no PP goals, the Armed Forces Special Jerseys went on live auction... well, the guys came out, slicked down and in spiffy suits, and stepped up to be auctioned off, their jerseys, I mean of course. I believe they raised over 25,000 to benefit the charities for, among several, the Rampage sled hockey team which is sending 3 to the national team to compete in Sochi! BTW Jed Ortmeyer's Jersey fetched a very nice 800 plus...and from the comments overheard, he is seen as an important factor the team's dismal performance earlier in the season has turned around. As all Aeros fans know only too well, right!

Now on Friday my fortune cookie said "A surprise is waiting for you on Saturday." And so it was... after all when a 'cow parachutes' into one's lap with a coupon for a free sandwich, finding a shiny penny on the way to ATT Center, Rampage win and
seeing this
at the auction which was very successful...
now that all IS a surprise, not so?
But
on the lighter side; the game reminded me rather a lot of 'let's find
the goalie' and of "upsadaisy who" all night long on both sides.
Which was, I am sure, no fun for Climie nor Grumet Morris.

Jed Ortmeyer's positive impact on the Rampage (7-3-1 I believe since he joined the Team) is not surprising. He is a WINNER!
I see you are a Beaudoin fan, artandhockey.
@anon Yes, and gave been for several years now and have followed his career as much as possible.
I wish both Jed and Matt were still wearing Aeros sweaters. Thanks for some great photos artandhockey!!
Oldfan, so do I, so do I. But Jed with Rampage and Matt with Rockford...at least some views when either plays here. Unkess, of course, you, too trek to SA for some games;-) as we do.
