The Tignish Aces (officially the Tignish Perry's Construction Aces) are a Canadian Junior C ice hockey team based in Tignish, Prince Edward Island. They play in the Prince Edward Island Junior C Hockey League. They play at the Credit Union Arena and are coached by Dwayne Handrahan.
History
The Aces were founded in 2007 into the PEI Junior C Hockey League. They won the league championship in their first season, finishing with only a single loss over the regular season and playoffs. They have been historically the most successful team in the league, winning six championships in their eight years.[1]
Incident vs. Sherwood
In March 2013, in the final game of the season, a brawl erupted when, as handshakes were taking place, three players from the Sherwood Falcons crossed centre ice and charged the Aces' players.[2] The Aces had just won the game to advance to the league final. Eight players and two coaches were suspended beginning the next season.
