Ice Caps Win Inaugural Game; Jaffray Named Captain

It was only fitting that those on the St. John's Ice Caps that were former Manitoba Moose would get the bulk of the work in the Ice Caps first game.

Defenseman Mark Flood scored the first goal in Ice Caps history en route to a 4-1 Ice Caps win over the Providence Bruins Friday night.

Paul Postma, Carl Klingberg, and newly anointed captain Jason Jaffray would add the other three goals to secure the win for the newest AHL affiliate club.

The 1-0 Ice Caps now play the Manchester Monarchs Saturday night before flying home and getting a week off before their home opener weekend with games Friday, October 14th and Saturday, October 15th against the Hamilton Bulldogs, ironically the Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate.
