What do aliens, D-list celebrities, politicians, scientists, sentient kitchen appliances, forest animals, cyber-criminals, a Pope and God Himself have to do with an obscure beer-league hockey team in Toronto Canada?

Only everything.

They all play a vital role in the Rise and Fall of the Black Aces Hockey Club, which you may have noticed is also the name of this book.

Culled from the ""best"" examples of 15 years of weekly game reports, this collection is a faithful and 100% true (not really) account of the incredible history of the Black Aces Hockey Club as told by long-time Aces player and unofficial Team Scribe Jeff McCartney.

Jeff McCartney started playing hockey at 6 years old, way back when there were only 6 NHL teams. After taking a 10-year break to get away from the violence and craziness that is rec hockey for men in their 20s, he returned to the game in the mid-90s. A few years of playing pickup-style hockey at various Toronto rinks eventually led to find- ing true hockey happiness with the Black Aces HC and the Cedarvale Oldtimers' Hockey League.Jeff lives in Scarborough Canada with his long-time partner and an ever-evolving collection of cats and bicycles. He still plays at least once a week, year round.
