Watching every Brooklyn Aces home game during the regular season and the playoffs this past season, I couldn’t help but feel that things could have been different.
Despite their loss in the EPHL finals a few months back, I’m not talking about their play on the ice either.
What I’m talking about is the team’s home.
While Aviator Sports and Recreation is a great place, especially to those in the community who wouldn’t otherwise have a place to go rock climbing, ice skating and play hockey or basketball, it’s not the easiest place to get to if you don’t have a car, especially considering how poor the mass transit runs around the area.
Even though I found it easy to get there a few hours before a game by bus this past season, it was nearly impossible to get home after games. If it wasn’t for my insistence to cover the team and a family and girlfriend who saw how difficult the journey was, I may have ended up calling it quits early on and missed out on some great hockey and great stories.
