Who are the DobberHockey Black Aces? 2013-14 Edition.
What started as a growing team of hockey enthusiasts focused on bringing you hockey insight and accurate in depth information, has now become a staple of the Dobber Sports community. If by chance you are unfamiliar with the contributions of the Black Aces, this article will give you a quick rundown and the details needed to participate.Â

November 12th 2010
On this day, two forum sections were created after a very competitive contest in the forums – Tim Lucarelli’s “Dub’s Take” as well as Gates Imbeau & Brandon Praba’s PG Advised.Â
Within a few months, PG Advised opened the floodgates to many aspiring writers and hockey enthusiasts. Growing in numbers every day, the section eventually broke off into four divisions – GMGates’ Office, PG Advised, NHL Team Coverage and Brendan Ross’ OHL Coverage. This four headed monster soon became known as the Black Aces project.
Note that the Black Aces program also brought the forum its NHL team coverage via the Eastern Conference / Western Conference, as well as the Your League Chat section and the Daily Studs & Duds.

So how do I sign up?
Black Aces
The Black Aces, also known as the DobberHockey Farm team, proudly encourages the Dobber Sports community and its forum members to showcase their writing talent. Whatever the topic, if you have the itch to write hockey (or any sport for that matter), stop by the Black Aces headquarters and let it out. Who knows, your article may be the next one to be “called up from the DobberHockey minors”.
Studs & Duds
For the third straight year, the Studs & Duds daily feature via the forum will resume, and we are looking to fill up the remaining days for the 2013-14 season. At the time of publishing, only three days remain. If you are interested, feel free to post in that respective thread. You can also reach out to myself (email below) or Shakedown (PM via forum).
Should you like to participate, but maybe not on a weekly basis, feel free to contact me. It is always nice to have floaters, or even biweekly switch ups in order to keep things fresh. Either way, make sure you stop in to check this daily feature, as you will find that it pairs up quite nicely with the DobberHockey ramblings. Â Â
DobberHockey Newsfeed
If you are not a fan of the limelight, but you are still very interested in joining the team, Dobber Sports is always looking to bolster its DobberHockey newsfeed team. The task here is to help our community stay on top of the daily hockey happenings (news, injury, streaks etc…).  For specific examples click here.Â
We are looking to slot in two members per day for a total of 14 contributors. If interested in any of the above, feel free to email me – gates at dobbersports dot com.
DobberProspects
While we are on the “signing up for” topic, the DobberProspects crew is looking for a couple of fresh faces. Â Currently, we have Edmonton and Boston available. As you know, DobberProspects delivers a wealth of prospect knowledge and the team over there does a fantastic job in highlighting team by team talent. For details on these positions, check out the job opportunity here and email me your application.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
