Breaking News: Aces Waive Thomson, Picked up by Hudson Valley

“I was a forward my entire life and last year I got an opportunity to play defense and I really liked it, but I still really enjoy joining the rush and creating on offense. It’s something that I still feel I can do and I know I can still produce. Plus, our coach [Chris Firriolo] is really letting loose of the reins and he let’s us take chances if we see an opportunity. At the same time though, we’re asked to play defense and be responsible. Because of that, it’s been fun so far.” — Former Aces defenseman Andrew Scampoli
