The Florida Eels want to congratulate goalie Jake Mork as he embarks upon his new venture: College Hockey. Jake has been with the Eels for 3 seasons played in over 50 games including Premier and Elite. He has been very a key ingredient in 3 Divisional Titles, Playoff Championships and National appearances. He has earned an extremely impressive save percentage on average .939 including 6 shutouts. He is a big guy at 6’2” 185.lbs. He possesses excellent skill set and dominates in net.

This young man comes from great family who has been very supportive of helping Jake realize his dreams of advancing to college and playing college hockey. Jake has impeccable character. He is very excited to move to the next chapter in his life and that is UW Milwaukee. He is also excited about returning home to Wisconsin for college and get to play in front of family and friends. Jake echoed that UW Milwaukee is a perfect fit for him. It has the academic program he wishes to pursue and a quality hockey program. They play in a tough division (the NCHL) against the likes of: Northern Michigan, UW Oshkosh Roosevelt, St. Norbert College, Lewis University, Concordia University Wisconsin, Marquette University, Marian University, DePaul University and others.

The Florida Eels took their 3rd game at the Nationals to another OT win. Yes this was their 3rd OT win at Nationals. This Game was against the Utah Outliers . They are the top team in the Mountain Division and they were ranked number 2 in the league rankings. The Eels are ranked number one in the league so it was only fitting that these two teams squared off at Nationals.

This was one of the best games of the season. No doubt Utah was very good and they surely tested the Eels. The Eels were ahead 4-2 going into the final minutes of regulation and Utah  pulled their goalie and was poised with 6 attackers. With a throttled firepower they tied things up 4-4 and forced it into OT.

The building was once again packed over 60 Eels families totaling over 200 Eels from both its teams and over 30 from Utah. approximately 100+-  Then there were an additional 200+- folks glued to the game up in the stands. That was incredible. Great atmosphere. The support from everyone there clearly had a positive impact upon our players. We have had an outpour form our Alumni as well. Players and parents all wanting us to win the Nationals.

This did not upset the resolve, fortitude and determination of this Eels squad. In just short order when  Eels  forward DAMON KIYAWASEW came flying back with his high octane offense and put one pass the Utah Goalie and secured their win.

The Eels now advance to the quarter Finals and face the Metro Jets. They are one of the top teams in the league. Please join us at 7:30 pm live or on Hockey TV

Eels Draw Metro Jets in Quarter Finals

The Florida Eels Premier team continues its winning ways as they down the Metro Jets 5-1 and thus advance to the semi-finals on Monday game time 6:00 pm

The Eels took a 1st period lead 1-0 and inched along with its methodical style of play. Very structured  but ever lethal and ready to turn on its high octane offense when the opportunity presents itself.

They are a very difficult team to play against. They are very structured and poised and do not get flustered.

You can see the unwavering  determination in their faces, as they enter the rink and from the drop of the puck. They are very confident but not arrogant. They exuded confidence and proceed accordingly with their system and tight structure
