More than just about any other sport, hockey relies on teamwork and trust. The average shift on the ice lasts anywhere from 35-55 seconds, and even the best players usually skate for only a quarter of the game.
The best teams turn this mix of skill, smarts and solidarity into a winning formula. Maybe that explains why the New York Aviators, one of six teams in the Federal Hockey League, have won 20 games in a row and gone undefeated since December 27. Members of the hottest team in professional hockey do more than trust each other – they share the same refrigerator.
