Aces Mugs
Description: The Jersey/Hampton Aces are a defunct professional ice hockey team that played in the Northeastern Hockey League during the 1978–79 season and the Eastern Hockey League 1979-80 season. The team was initially based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and played its home games at the Cherry Hill Centrum (formerly Cherry Hill Arena), an arena that had previously served as home to the Jersey Knights of the World Hockey Association and the Jersey Devils of the Eastern Hockey League.

However, Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt stepped in and purchased a controlling interest in the franchise.
