Aeros rookie goalie Josh Harding is backing up Mike Smith tonight in San Antonio. It's the first time Harding has put on the Aeros uniform since he was knocked out with a concussion November 28 against Utah.
"I would like to take this time to thank all the Aeros fans in Houston, Minnesota and Canada, and all the hockey fans around the world, for their thoughts and prayers in the last two months.
Your dozens of get well messages and emails have been a constant source of strength as I began practice, and I eagerly look forward to playing again in the near future in front of the best fans in the American Hockey League."
