Aviators Give Rush The "C"

Let's give Clifford Zeman a warm welcome to You Call That Hockey?

Brooklyn - Last night #4 Jarrett Rush was named Captain of the Brooklyn Aviators.  Rush has played for the Brooklyn Aviators since the FHL has come into existence. He has been a steady force in their defense while taking on a more pro active nature with his defensive play compared to last year.

He is using his size 6’5” 225 lbs. more often and effectively and has been known to drop his gloves on a few occasions. Last season he played the gentleman role on the ice and was being pushed around a bit, but not this year. He doesn’t look for trouble but he doesn’t run away from it when it comes looking for him. He protects his goalie and does a great job when the Aviators have to kill a penalty and as a bonus he can also put up point.

In his first season 2010-2011 with the then New York Aviators Rush played in 47 games and had a total of 17 points. Jarrett was also named to the First Team of the FHL.

As captain, Rush will assume the job as the leader on and off the ice. He will be helping the new players to get to know the Aviators system of play. He will be the representative for the Aviators on and off the ice.

I have known Jarrett from the very beginning of his play with the Aviators and can truly say that  he is a real gentlemen and a pleasure to know. He always has time for the kids and for signing autographs and having pictures taken with the fans.

I believe this won’t be just a one way street for Jarrett, the Aviators will benefit from their choice as Captain. Can’t wait to see the big C on his jersey tonight as they have a two game stand against their rivals the Cape Cod Bluefins.
