The Eels Premier team continues its winning ways : making  it 6 in a row as they unleash their high octane scoring in their midweek game against the Jr Blades. They are quite impressive in their offensive attack cross the entire state of Florida, as they brought down Tampa twice with 9 goals, the Palm Beach Typhoon with 10 and now the Jr Blades with 7 yesterday and a 6-0 shutout a few weeks ago. Make no mistake, this Blades team, as with the Tampa Juniors and the Typhoon are all solid clubs. But the Eels simply suffocate their attack and smothers their efforts. The Eels Premier team is at another level. And they believe in themselves. When you combine skill and confidence it makes for a winning formula

What is most impressive is they are not sacrificing defense for offense. Yesterday they turned away all but one goal, and they are averaging 2 against per game. Their overall play is nothing short of phenomenal. Their decision making spot on, their passing crisp and keenly accurate, their shots lethal. So many weapons regardless of the opponents.

They can play any style, be-it battling along the wall, in the trenches in front of the crease or a high flying aerial attack. These boys have bought in and are a mission. No doubt they are looking forward to the showcase games ahead of us this weekend. Games against our sister teams in the Southeast have always been extremely competitive and lively. The boys are looking forward to it

The Florida Eels are thrilled to announce that Crossley Stewart has committed to NCAA Division 1 RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology). Crossley stands at 6’3” 190 lbs. and is a defenseman out of Prince Rupert, BC, CAN. He was a major impact player on the Eels Premier team. As a defenseman Crossley owned the defensive zone. A very smart player who had a high hockey IQ. Moreover, he was a never-ending offensive threat.  While playing for the Eels, Stewart averaged close to a point per game. Opposing teams knew he could turn on the jets and drive to the net. He often skated by opposing forwards and defensemen like pylons.

 

Crossley was very creative; had a high skill; and at 6’3” he used his body to his advantage. In 2020-21 he was very instrumental in the Eels Divisional title and its’ run in the playoffs where we swept the Atlanta Madhatters in 2 games: 5-0 and 6-2.  Crossley quarterbacked the Eels as they march through the Nationals battling MJDP, the NY Aviators, the Minnesota Blue Ox, and the Carolina Hurricanes and ultimately to the Championship game against the Charlotte Rush.

 

There was no doubt by any of the Eels coaches how good Crossley was. Premier Head Coach Frankie Scarpaci echoed; Stewart is definitely a NCAA Division 1 prospect.  He developed so well with us. He has an extremely high skill set, sees the ice so well and is a true student of the game. His hockey IQ is up there with the best. Moreover, he is a competitor. One of the most aggressive players who ever sported an Eels jersey. Moreover, he is very coachable. Crossley will do so well at RIT. Perfect fit for him. We are very proud of Crossley. It is an honor and a privilege to have coached him.
