Russian Federation Annexes Black Aces HC

In a development some political analysts are calling 'unexpected', the Russian Federation last week sent armed troops into midtown Toronto to secure the Black Aces Hockey Club, reigning champs of the Cedarvale Oldtimers Hockey League.

"Crimea Shmimea" said a laid back Vlad Putin after the surprise move "Ze Ukraine can wait until after the playoffs, when Aces secure glorious victory for Mother Russia."

When pressed for his plans for the little-known hockey club, Putin would not say outright that he sought to have the team moved to Russia, but did make a subtle reference to "a certain Malaysian aircraft" that may have been commandeered to relocate the Aces to Sochi. "We are not using that town any more" said Putin spokesperson Yuri Nidiotski "so will make nice headquarters for Aces hockey team. Many nice apartment there."

Until the final game can be played on March 19, the Aces have each been given a personal lady bodyguard to keep them in tip top shape. Women Russian bodyguards are now in short supply (due to most attractive Russian women now working as strippers) so the Aces' bodyguards all look like this:
Не шутите с Aces, сукин
If that doesn't inspire the team to greatness, nothing will.

For fans of the team wondering what the hell has been happening the past few weeks, here's a recap:

Feb 26: Wyse Guys 5, Aces 3.  A nothing game, and with ski season still in full swing most of the gusy were a little preoccupied. John played backup goal, too bad the team didn't play in front of him. 2 goals for Pete, 1 for Mark.
March 5: Semi final game! Aces 4, Warriors 2. A disputed goal almost ruined the night for the blackshirts, but they did prevail in the end. Single goals went to Jeff, Rod, Pete and Mark. Kevin was back in net and held the fort when it looked like the Warriors were mounting a comeback.
Last week: March break. A snowstorm. A shinny game for those who braved the snow.

And now here we are.
