BKN Aviators ~ A's Harpoon Whalers; Blue Fins Are Next

From the desk of:  THE COOLEST GUYS IN BROOKLYN

BROOKLYN AVIATORS:  After Spearing the Danbury Whalers, the Kings County Coolest are Looking to Hook Some Blue Fins.



Mission accomplished.  The sortie over Danbury hit it's mark; eight times to be exact.  Return to base.



Brooklyn's Coolest quieted down the Friday night Danbury crowd with a three goal barrage in the first period, then sent the Whalers' faithful home gagged after Brooklyn dropped another five goals on them in the third.



Newest Aviator, Vladimir Nikiforov opened up the scoring midway through the first period with a power play goal; his first as an Aviator.  Brooklyn followed that up with two more goals before the first period expired.  Jordan Bernier scored at even strength at the 17:36 mark, assisted by Nikiforov, making the score 2-0.  Then just as the period expired, Chris Jones scored the A's second power play goal of the period, unassisted.



Danbury got one back in the second period when centerman Chris Siefert scored on A's starting goalie Lee Thomas.  Brooklyn's defense kept the Whalers' shots against their goalie limited to roughly ten per period.  Thomas faced thirty-one shots in total; stopping thirty while the A's finished the night with fifty-three shots.  Other than the lone Danbury goal, it was all Aviators this night.



Brooklyn scored at 3:10 into the third period on Jordan Bernier's second goal of the game; assisted again by Nikiforov.  Then over the next seven minutes, Brooklyn continued to lace Danbury with four more goals.



Chris Ferazolli and Vladimir Nikiforov joined Bernier as Brooklyn's multiple goal scorers of the evening.  Ferazolli cashed in after Bernier's earlier third period goal.  Then new blue-liner Ken Trentowski snuck in his first goal as an Aviator to make the game a 6-1 affair.



On a later power play, Chris Ferrazolli scored his second goal of the period at the 7:57 mark.  Then forward Vladimir Nikiforov capped off one hell of an Aviator debut for himself, in what was an overall formidable performance by Brooklyn, with his second goal and fifth point of the night, as he had three assists on the evening as well.



Tonight, a little pay-back is in order.  In game two of the season, the Cape Cod Blue Fins defeated Brooklyn 3-2 in overtime up in Hyannis, Mass.  Back home in the Hangar this evening, it's time for Brooklyn to even the score with those Fishy characters.

Saturday Night is Alright for Fighting...

BKN Aviators ~ Friday Night Rumble in Danbury

From the desk of:  THE COOLEST GUYS IN BROOKLYN

BROOKLYN AVIATORS:  Week Two Cleared For Take-Off; Mission - Danbury.


It's that time; it's FHL week two and the A's are opening the doors to Hangar Five and taking-off for Connecticut.  Friday night, Brooklyn's Coolest will head up to Danbury for their first meeting against the Whalers.  Then Saturday, the Aviators return to Hangar Five for a rematch against the Cape Cod Bluefins who defeated the A's in over-time last time they met in Hyannis.




The first place New Jersey Outlaws may have ruined our home-ice opener this season and they'll surely need to pay for that...eventually.  But right now they're still second-in on Brooklyn's rivalry depth chart.  Danbury however; - The Danbury Whalers?  Now you speak of the Brooklyn Aviators' true rival.  After the inaugural season of FHL play, this has developed into a fierce Tri-State area rivalry indeed.  And the folks of Danbury are without a doubt very supportive of their team and fill the seats, which should add some electricity to this initial Friday night match-up of the season.



One thing is very clear about the Danbury team thus far, they are very strong up the middle. Center - Kelly Miller leads Danbury scoring after two games with three goals and three assists; good for six points.  Center-Chris Seifert and Center-Joe Dabkowski are Danbury's other two multiple goal scorers. 



Casey Mignone is Brooklyn's leading goal scorer so far with a pair.  And newcomer Chris Ferazolli leads the team in points with four on the strength of three assists.



Whalers' goalie-Rick Niedert has made both of Danbury's starts so far.  A's Coach Miller rotated his goalies last week.  Lee Thomas made two starts for the A's while Peter Dundovich started in net once.  On a side note, Peter's lone start against Cape Cod last week is still something bordering bizarre.



The A's signed a pair of players during the week.  Coach Miller signed Forward - Vladimir Nikiforov from the ECHL, and picked up more defensive help from the SPHL by signing Defenseman - Ken Trentowski.  Both should be in uniform for Friday's game.



New Jersey leads the circuit with four games played and nine points.  Brooklyn trails in fourth place with four points after three games and Danbury is fifth with three points after two games played.
