Captain Huxley to play 250th AIHL game on Saturday |
|

|
On Saturday afternoon, club legend David Huxley will step on the ice for the 250th time in an Adelaide Adrenaline uniform. It will be a historic weekend as Huxley becomes just the 13th player to ever play 250 in the national league and only the third Adrenaline player. On Sunday, when he plays game number 251, he will pass Josh Harding and become second on the all-time games played list. In today's AIHL, the accomplishment is even more special with a demanding travel schedule, a job and a family to take care of. But Huxley has done it all with a smile on his face and become one of the most approachable personalities in the Aussie game. Huxley has played in the AIHL since 2005 as a 17-year-old and developed into one of the most reliable and respected players in the AIHL.
Huxley started playing for the Adrenaline in similar way to how players like Marcel McGuiness, Jake Riley, Remy McGuiness and Zach Boyle got their start. He was thrown into the fire as a 17-year-old high school kid playing in a league of players with tremendous skill. Some of them, like former teammate Steve McKenna, even had NHL experience.

It's that kind of attitude that made him captain after longtime skipper Greg Oddy stepped down from his post before this season.
"The thing I like most about playing for the Adrenaline is being in the locker room with the guys after a win," he says. "When you and all your mates are having a laugh and a beer."
Games are 4:30pm on Saturday and Sunday and tickets can be bought at www.trybooking.com/pftr.
