They played their home games at the 2,500 seat Aviator Arena.
On June 17, 2008 the Brooklyn Aces announced Chris Firriolo as the team's first head coach.<ref>{{cite press release |date=June 17, 2008 |url=http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3661764 |title=Eastern Professional Hockey League Welcomes the Brooklyn Aces}}</ref>
==Notable players== On March 21 and 22, 2009, former New York Ranger great, Ron Duguay, suited up to play two games in the EPHL, one game with the Brooklyn Aces and the other with the Jersey Rockhoppers, to raise money for the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization associated with Madison Square Garden.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/22/sports/hockey/22duguay.html?ref=sports|last=Klein|first=Jeff Z.|title=Locks Still Flowing 20 Years Later, Duguay Returns|work=The New York Times|date=March 22, 2009}}</ref> Duguay signed a waiver, and played his game with the Brooklyn Aces without a helmet, which allowed his hair to flow free as it did when he played in the NHL. With 37 seconds left in regulation, he assisted on the game-tying goal, but the Aces would lose 4-3 in overtime.
