Essex And Ayr Series Begins

The Essex 73's welcome Ayr to the Essex Centre Sports Complex tonight for Game 1 of the Schmalz Cup semi-final.

Essex General Manager Scott Miller says the Centennials will give them a real test. "They have a very big defence with a good system, similar to ours. They seem to balance four lines, from what we're told, and a very good goalie."

It's the fourth year in a row that Essex has made it to the Schmalz Cup semi-finals.

Puck drop is 7:30pm.
