It will be the fifth game of an eight game road trip and their sixth game in their sixth state in nine days. It will also be their 40th game of the season, meaning they will have reached the halfway point of the season. And at the halfway point, this season for the Aeros can best be described by one word: consistent. As in consistently inconsistent. Their record is 17-15-1-6 (41 poin

And that is a comment that I stand by, though several of you got upset. And the responses that I got were the same as I always get: soccer is the most popular sport in the world and that the sport and the MLS are growing inside of the United States. And I'm really sick of hearing these responses. Because I've been hearing this crap since I

March 11, 2009Aeros Running Out of Steam, Goalies
For a team that is just two wins away from clinching a playoff spot, the Houston Aeros have played more than their share of bad hockey this season. And last night, with a chance to move ever closer to that playoff spot, the Aeros turned in one of their worst games of the season. "We felt tonight was a critical game," Coach Kevin Constantine said after the game, but unfortunately, the Aeros feelings didn't translate to their play on the ice as they lost 5-3 to a Iowa Chops squad struggling to

January 7, 2009Hard Economic Times Coming To Sports Franchises
The NHL doesn't have a team in Houston, so I'm pretty confident that most of you don't follow the league, and don't have any idea about some of the severe financial problems facing many of the southern teams. The NHL has intervened in Phoenix in an attempt to find new ownership for the club. A part owner of the Nashville Predators recently pled guilty to securities fraud - some of the proceeds from the fraud were used to purchase the Predators. There have been reports that the

September 30, 1999The Aeros' Award Winners, Acccording To Us
I thought that, with the Houston Aeros season now over, I would do one of those end-of-season award things. So here goes. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Krys Kolanos. Kolanos barely played in half of the team's regular season as he was constantly up and down with the Minnesota Wild. But he was a one-man scoring machine who could seemingly score from anywhere. His presence on the team served to open up for space whoever was playing on a line with him, and that in turn made the team that m
June 9, 2009Never Too Hot For A Hockey Update
Just because it's the off-season in hockey doesn't mean that things aren't happening with the Houston Aeros. Since the end of the season, head coach Kevin Constantine and his coaching staff have been retained by the new management regime of the parent Minnesota Wild. But Aeros general manager Tom Lynn, who helped to assemble the 2008-09 team that made it to the AHL's Western Conference Finals, was let go by the Wild. The Wild has replaced him with Jim Mill who, along with being the Aeros general
July 8, 2009Will the Aeros Be Recognizable As the Same Team Next Season?
When the Houston Aeros season gets underway come October, you truly are going to need a scorecard to tell apart the players. Because while it may be a way of life in the minor leagues to have roster changes during the off season, the Aeros, who made it into the AHL's Calder Cup Semi-Finals last season have been undergoing a rather massive changeover. Gone from the club are leading scorer Corey Locke who signed a contract with the New York Rangers, human high-light reel Krys Kolanos who signed
July 17, 2009Some Aeros Miscellania, Including Cheerleaders
Photo Jason Villanueva/Houston AerosJust thought I would share a little Houston Aeros hockey news today -- for some reason, I can't get into football yet, but I'm fully up on all hockey. I can't explain it...okay, yes I can. I got to watch the tryouts for the Aeros cheerleaders, the Aero Dynamics, on Saturday, so hockey's pretty relevant in my mind at the moment.First, I spoke with Aeros Vice President of Business Operations Jamie Spencer last week. The team's been in kind of turmoil this off
August 4, 2009Aeros' New Boss Promises A More Aggressive Offense
Hard as it may be to believe, especially with the temps outside and with football just now starting, but within a matter of weeks, players will be reporting to camp for the Houston Aeros. The Aeros have undergone some rather massive changes this off season -- as has the team's parent club the Minnesota Wild. While the team's head coach, Kevin Constantine, is the same, the Aeros have a new general manager, Jim Mill, who is also the assistant general manager to the Wild. Mill is new to worki
September 3, 2009It's Hockey Season? Apparently So, And Here's Your Preview
As hard as it might be to believe, hockey season starts tonight. And for the Houston Aeros, this season starts in the same place that last season's ended. In Winnipeg, Manitoba.The 2009-10 Aeros are going to be a rather different looking team than what you saw on the ice last year. Krys Kolanos, Corey Locke, Jesse Schultz, and the rest of the team's key offensive talent from last year are gone. Goalie Nolan Schaefer has departed for Russia. As for their replacements, well, decisions are s
