Rama Making Up Ground

The Rama Aces took advantage of their opportunity with three games this past weekend. Collecting four out of a possible six points has brought Rama within one point for sixth place in the GMHL. Victories over the Toronto Attack and Orangeville Americans have improved the Aces' record to 20-14-2 with just six games remaining in the regular season.

In the most important game of the season thus far, the Aces traveled to North York to take on the Toronto Attack. As mentioned earlier, the Attack occupy the 6th place slot that the Aces are actively chasing. Rama rose to the occasion, defeating Toronto 5-3 in an intense match up. A three point performance from All-Star Ty Watt and two goals from leading scorer Ricky Darrell highlighted the evening for Rama. Goal scorers for the Aces included: Darrell (2), Wilson, Watt and deadline signing Alex McConnell.

Rama continued the strong performance in Orangeville against the Americans on Monday evening. The struggling Americans put up a surprising fight as the Aces narrowly squeaked out a 7-6 win. The Americans simply wouldn't quit, showing a strong work ethic through all three periods. For the second straight game Ty Watt led the club with four points on the night. Wilson, Corona and Darrell each had two goals while Molfetta added a single. Colton Bache earned the victory in goal for the Aces.

With two games in hand, the Aces will look to make up some ground with three games next weekend. The Aces are in tough, with games against the South Muskoka Shield and Bradford Rattlers upcoming.
