The 2009/2010 season is the first season the Jr. Aces has had a Squirts team. Under head coach Mark “Ski” Skibinski and assistant coach Royle Prince the Jr. Aces Squirts team looks to build a successful Tier II team. Coach Ski has been playing/coaching hockey since he was 6 years old. He played Division I hockey at the Air Force Academy from 1987 to 1991. He went on to be the head coach at Robert Morris College in Illinois. Coach Ski has spent a large amount of time coaching mite clinics and last season he assisted Coach Prince with the Bulldog Squirts B team. Assistant Coach Royle Prince grew up playing comp hockey in Anchorage. After college Coach Prince started and directed the University of Nevada’s Club Hockey Program and he was head coach and player. While directing the University’s hockey program he initiated and directed the adult and youth hockey programs for Northern Nevada for 6 years prior to returning to Alaska.

 Together Coach Ski and Coach Prince make a strong coaching team. These two coaches balance well the defense and offense positions of each and every player. Their knowledge and skill combined with teaching methods are developing the individual and team skills. Along with Assistant Coach Mike Dunn’s expertise for stick and puck handling these 3 coaches are developing a team that is competitive at this level.

 The Squirts team is made up of a group of players from various areas across Anchorage and Kenai. This team spent 3 days camping and playing hockey together to create a group of kids that have bonded together as a team. As a team they can have a fun and exciting season. 

The Squirts may have a small team but it is full of skill, speed and heart. Our team consists of 3 lines, 4 defensemen and one goalie. On the red line is center Tyler Prince, wing Levi Hensley and Ethan Brown. Tyler is our captain this year and both Levi and Ethan make the long journey from Kenai to be on our team. This line is full of speed and power. On the blue line is center Trevor Prince and wing Hunter Borst and Jaden Hewes. This line is well balanced with skill and strength. Our final line is made up of two with a rotating position. On the green line are Nathan Vandenbos and Noah Cooley. These two complement each other on skill and speed. Our defensive team is made up of a group of kids that are skilled, quick on their feet and the goalie’s best friends. On defense are Taylor Ceccarelli, Avery Dunn, Alex Kessler and Trenton Klingbeil. Finally, the man in the net is Alex Plett. He may be small but he is very agile.  

 With hard work and dedication, the Jr. Aces Squirts team will strive to improve each and every day in an effort to become a serious contender in Alaska’s Squirts Tier II Division.
