Joe Lyle- Quickly showing why Aces head coach Chris Firriolo was so sore when he lost the youngster in the expansion draft when Hudson Valley joined the league in October, Lyle has already proven his value in Brooklyn. Despite only playing a handful of games with the Aces so far this season, Lyle has shown that he is more than capable in both ends of the ice. A good passer, look for Lyle’s offensive production to improve as the season wears on and for him to become an even bigger piece in the team’s defense.
Grade- B+
Nick Grove- Playing with an assortment of injuries this season, it would be easy for Grove to make excuses. However, “Grover,” as he is affectionately called by his teammates, has been solid in both ends of the ice- scoring 17 points in 24 games, while going a +25. Playing in all game situations, Grove has also been a great example to his teammates and has does everything in his power to make sure the Aces end up in win column every time he steps out on the ice.
