Surely, you puckheads are not already jonesing for more pucks just one week after the Alaska Aces' season ended.

But in the event you are, check out the 2009-10 schedule released today and realize the season is a mere four months away.

I'm taking some time off, so I didn't peruse this schedule much, except to note 14 of the first 22 games are roadies. That's followed by 13 of the next 17 at home; nine of the following 12 on the road; and 12 of the last 21 at home. There's a New Year's Eve home match in there, too.

HOME GAMES AT SULLIVAN ARENA ARE IN CAPS.
