Making the Cut

Black Aces vs Elite (1x9)

Air date: Nov 16, 2004

""If the colour of your helmet doesn't light a fire under you, nothing will"" coaches tell the Black Aces before their game against the elite team. For the Black Aces, the day of reckoning has arrived. Twenty of them have been selected to play against the elite squad. At stake is a chance to return to the main team and regain the chance to be one of the final six. It's game time. High stakes lead to fierce action as the Black Aces battle for vengeance and redemption. ""This is turning out better than anyone could have hoped,"" says Mike Keenan. But before the Aces find out who has earned another shot, a group of elite players will face Keenan at centre ice and lose their white helmets for good. Some of training camp's most memorable characters must face the music.
