Aces: Bo Is Back

Posted by adn_aces

Posted: August 19, 2008 - 1:16 pm

Right winger Bo Cheesman, whose career-high 30 goals last season ranked second among Alaska Aces skaters, will return for a second season in Anchorage, the club announced Tuesday.

Cheesman, 27, racked 30-27--57 totals and was the only Ace to play all 72 games last season. He contributed nine power-play goals and two shorties.

Cheesman's campaign was a tale of two seasons: He was money for the first two-thirds of the season, but struggled in the last one-third. In the first 48 games, he earned 25-23--48 totals. In the last 24, that dropped to 5-4--9.

Cheesman didn't make any excuses, but it wasn't hard to notice he spent a lot of time in the latter part of the season getting treatment for his back.

In any event, he produced career highs in goals, assists and points, and played on the power-play and penalty-killing units. And those 30 goals ranked tied for 15th in the ECHL.

Let's just hope Bo can keep

Let's just hope Bo can keep his eyes and mind on the game on the ice and not on his girlfriend in the stands.

Are you hearing us, Bo?
