    Booth joins the Ice partway through the season, as the team has already played nine games. They currently sit in first place in the AIHL ladder with a 6-0-1-2 record (ordered as wins, losses, overtime wins and overtime losses). The AIHL also mentioned in their announcement that Booth is expected to arrive in Melbourne on Friday and will potentially be available to play in the Melbourne derby between the Ice and the Mustangs. If not, he will probably play on Sunday against the Central Coast Rhinos.

Consumers should have as many buying options as possible. But Florida's new (and embattled) AG is siding with car dealers - who have donated $90k to his campaign and want you to be forced to buy through them. Even the Justice Dept says this is a bad idea. https://t.co/yMkAKdmrC2
