The worldwide debut and launch of The Rise and Fall of the Black Aces Hockey Club was held on November 13, 2025 at The Black Aces HQ, aka Ferro Bar & Cafe.
This one was for the Black Aces crowd and was a spectacular success. The Aces crushed it as usual, leaving no pizza uneaten and no beer un-drunk.

A second book launch event for the non-Aces crowd was on November 16 and was also a hit with the locals.
Hosted at the Olde Stone Cottage in Scarborough, we out-drew the Grey Cup crowd and sold out all copies of the book.
