Breaking News
Aardvarks GM Gunner Gislason has been busy on the telephone with Parker Abuda’s agent, Roger Abuda, aka The Buddha, discussing a new contract. Gislason has until December 2, 2018 to make the signing before Abuda is ineligible to play in the IRHL for the remainder of the 2018/19 season and therefore only allowed to curl for the rest of the winter.
Abuda has been holding out the last two seasons for a more prominent role in the lineup and remains a restricted free agent, property of the Aardvarks, for another three years.

First Monday of the Month Aardvark Fact
Aardvark Jason Gulay hangs onions outside his front door a month before the IRHL season. This is a good way to keep the negative hockey Gods out of a house.
Onions grown in Gulay’s garden to specifically ward off bad hockey Gods.
“Which Aardvark will record the longest consecutive multi-point game streak in the 2018/2019 season?” poll results
Following the first two games of the IRHL season, several Aardvarks continue to hold a consecutive multi-point game scoring streak; Johannesson, Gislason, Fuz, Chwaliboga, Sigurdson, Finnson and Bobbee.
It will be interesting to see which Aardvark can maintain their ‘hot’ stick the longest.
You can catch the Aardvarks in action November 5th at the Arborg and District Arena at 9:00 pm against the Comrades.
Thanks to all of those that participated. Make sure to cast your vote in the next Aardvark poll.
