This is why the Aces play in the third tier of pro hockey---they don't have the skills or discipline to play the game at a level  to win consistently .   When we read about both the Aces and UAA , and what is needed to make the playoffs , I think what for ?  Both teams aren't good enough and don't deserve to do well in the playoffs.  With UAA it's the same old , same old every year---except under Thomas it's getting way worse . The Aces are doing better than I thought they would , yet still seem to give it half the effort.  Fans of both clubs deserve better.  If this is a hockey town , we sure don't show it. Given the population of this area both teams should enjoy full houses each game.  On the other hand , both teams seem to play with little care or pride . IF UAA hockey is ended , the players and coach share a big part of the blame .  The Aces owners don't seem to care if they win or lose---as long as they average 3500 fans per game they are happy.
