PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS

- TRADE DETAILS EMERGE ON CARD DEAL
- JEPHCOTT LEADS CENTRALS TO OPENING WIN
- ALDRIDGE HAUNTS THE NORDIQUES WITH HAT-TRICK

We start today with the blockbuster news that the Toronto Aces have dealt Russel Card (G) to the Montreal Champions. As well as being the first ever interleague trade, the move has rocked the league as Card was being billed as a part of the Aces potential cup run this year. Aces GM Brett Lundberg stated that the move was a long time coming and that the club had been shopping Card around for "the best deal".

"We're wanting to make a cup run but not just this year: we want to remain competitive. In the best interests of the club, we chased the best deal we could get."

The Aces got Randy Reynolds (G), and defender Chris Aldrovandi for the experienced goaltender.

New York Centrals 5 - 2 San Francisco Arrows
Jameson Arena, San Francisco (Att: 20,100)

After the opening day festivities in Montreal, the first game of the season for defending Harris Shield holders the New York Centrals looked fairly workmanlike as they got down to business against the San Francisco Arrows. A SanFran record 20,100 showed up to watch the first ever interleague game for their side. Sadly, they saw a fairly disappointing display as the physical Arrows attempted to outmuscle the skill-driven Centrals to no avail. Despite landing twice as many hits (28-14) there was seemingly nothing the Arrows could do to stop New York. A hat trick to Micah Turner (one even, one powerplay and one empty-net), all on set-ups from Nicky Jephcott, proved the difference between the two teams.

Quebec Nordiques 4 - 6 Ottawa Nationals
Nationals Arena, Ottawa (Att: 17,100)

A third hat-trick in the first two days of the competition saw Walter Aldridge, who left the Nordiques to become a free agent only to be signed by the Nationals days before the beginning of the competition, lead the Nationals to an emphatic 6-4 victory over the visiting Quebecois. Despite the efforts of Eric Woods, who put one on net for the Nords and assisted Justin von Duehren with another, the Nationals were simply miles too good when it counted. The Quebecois outshot the Nationals 39-31, but Brandon Moore was up to the challenge. Michael Pratt ended up getting pulled early in the third after permitting his 6th goal against.

Tomorrow: Charlottetown Islanders at the Seattle Nightmare.
