Packing his bags on April 11 at the Glens Falls Civic Center, Jared Ross was frustrated. Ross, admittedly, had a tough year. As the Adirondack Phantoms' captain, he battled through injuries and finished with his worst point total in 3 years with the team. Still, Ross thought he should have been a part of the Flyers' initial group of "Black Aces," or players who work out and practice as taxi squad players for the NHL's playoff run. Ross was heading back home to Alabama and some of his teammates were getting set to join the Flyers. "I was disappointed, not to be a black ace," Ross said. "I thought that I'm a player the team could use. I wasn't sure if they [the Flyers] thought that. But I don't think they thought guys would be injured like they were." http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/flyers/20100429_Flyers_call_up_Phantoms__captain_Ross.html
