As the season comes to a close, the Florida Eels reflect on an incredible journey filled with dedication, perseverance, and teamwork. We are immensely proud of our Premier and Elite players, who have given their all on the ice, demonstrating unwavering commitment and passion for the game. Their hard work and determination have made this season truly special, and we commend each and every one of them for their efforts.
Behind every great team is a strong support system, and we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff. From our skilled coaches who have guided our players every step of the way, to the game day operations personnel who ensure every match runs seamlessly, your contributions are invaluable. Your dedication has played a crucial role in making this season a success.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the continued support of our families, fans, and billet families. Your unwavering encouragement, cheers from the stands, and behind-the-scenes sacrifices have made a profound impact on our organization. Your belief in our players and our program fuels our drive to achieve greatness, and for that, we are forever grateful.
Families, we know that sending your players off to us in Florida can be scary, and we deeply appreciate the trust you place in us. Thank you for allowing your players to join us and become a part of our family.
Billets, thank you for opening your doors, homes, and hearts to our players, providing them with a safe and welcoming place to stay. Your generosity and kindness help create a home away from home, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
Like the end of any season, a sense of sadness fills our hearts as players age out and move forward to their next steps beyond junior hockey. We are thankful for the time we had with our players, whether it be a season or four-plus years. We look forward to seeing what is next for our players and watching them continue to grow as athletes and members of our global community.
While this season may be over, the journey does not end here. The lessons learned, friendships built, and memories made will continue to inspire us as we look ahead to the future. The Florida Eels are more than just a team—we are a family, united by a shared love for the game and a commitment to excellence.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible season. We look forward to what lies ahead and can’t wait to see you all back in action soon. Go Eels!
