Grizzlies lose, will face Aces in ECHL playoffs

WEST VALLEY CITY — The Alaska Aces defeated the Utah Grizzlies 3-0 Friday night before a season-high crowd of 6,866 fans as the team wore Harley-Davidson jerseys.

More than $16,000 was raised from the team's post-game jersey auction with all the proceeds going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Alaska's win and Idaho's 3-2 loss to Phoenix clinch the West Division for the Aces and solidify a first-round playoff pairing between Utah and Alaska for the second time in four years. The series will start Friday, April 10, in Alaska.
