I don't remember the Brass ever beating the Ice Gators in a clutch game. We played well against them, pretty often with a few regular season wins. But they were always better, or it seemed that way, when it mattered.

according to Wikipedia, we beat them in the second round of they playoffs in 98-99 season (which must be what I remember) before falling short against those bastards the Pee Dee Pride in the next round.

I remember Villeneuve, well, though. One year, maybe the last one in the Auditorium, we played a New Year's Eve game, still have the jersey. Then the Krewe of Brass (booster club) had a party until about 3:00 a.m. in one of the banquet rooms in the Auditorium. Villeneuve went from table-to-table finishing off people's half-finished bottles of champagne

that's awesome

I was sad to see Villeneuve did not in fact make it to the NHL.

Thanks for the knowledge, makes me feel better.

M.H. WAS a good 'keeper. He started by going to tables when people would get up to go dance, drinking right out of the bottles, but he was trying to sneak around doing it. Once people saw him, they all started inviting him to their tables and handing him bottles.
