Over the weekend the 2010 12U AA Aviators skated into a tough test playing 4 games in two days. The weekend started with the Aviators looking for their first win in the extremely tough 12U 09 AA PAHL division when they squared off against the 09 AA Yetis. The game was a hard-fought low scoring affair, and with 1:30 remaining on the clock with a 1-1 score, the Aviators netted the game winner getting their first in PAHL league play! Later that evening, the 2010 AAA Buffalo Regals skated into town. The high-flying Regals jumped out to an early 3-1 lead. After finding their legs, the Aviators came on strong in the 3rd period cutting the lead to 3-2 but with the goalie pulled were not able to complete the comeback. It was a great game between two high-speed teams.

Going into Sunday, the Aviators were scheduled to square off for a two-game set against their cross-city rivals the 2010 AA South Pittsburgh Rebellion. The first game on Sunday was a tough back and forth game with the Aviators coming out on top 3-2. The Rebellion came into the weekend looking to challenge the Aviators physically and in the second game they raised their physical play even more. However, it was nothing like the physical play that the Aviators face in their 2009 AA PAHL schedule and the Aviators were prepared to not only match it, but they took their own physical play to another level smothering the Rebellion. The Aviators skated away with a convincing 3-0 win in the second game and now lead the season series with the Rebellion 3-1.

After a great 3-1 weekend the Aviators will now prepare for a tough test next weekend when they face the 09 SHAHA Panthers and the 09 Allegheny Badgers!
