Brian in Boston Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Eastern Professional Hockey League has formally welcomed its fourth member-franchise to the fold. The Brooklyn Aces will play their home games at the Aviator Sports and Recreation Center, a multi-purpose facility located on the grounds of Floyd Bennett Field. The Brooklyn Aces' identity package is fitting given that Floyd Bennet Field opened in 1931 as New York City's first municipal airport. Floyd Bennet Field famously served as a Naval Air Station during World War II and was finally decommissioned in 1972. At that time the airfield was incorporated into Gateway National Historic Area. In 2003, four of Floyd Bennet Field's eight hangars were renovated and converted into the home of the Aviator Sports and Recreation Center.The Brooklyn Aces join the Danbury Mad Hatters, Jersey Rockhoppers, Exeter Ice and a yet-to-be-officially-named franchise in Rome, New York as charter members of the EPHL.

Geoff Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, the Brooklyn AcesThe team in Exeter is going to be called the Exeter Freeze. If they adopt the logo of the Jr program that's already there, this will be the logo: Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whchoclte Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Im not in love with it but its good.Alot of elements going on at once.Also the Aviator Sports Complex is partially owned by MSG which could mean more than just hockey there as the complex has basketball and outdoor fields.
