The Eels Premier team take on the Madhatters in 3 games over the weekend. Game one the Eels were edged 3-2 in a disappointing loss. They controlled the territory, shots on goal and overall play but came up short. Last night the Eels avenged their loss by handing the Madhhaters a serious loss 6-4 as the Eels dominated throughout the evening.

Today the Eels once again looked like their 1st place status overwhelming the Madhhaters in their 4-2 win. This was a costly loss for Atlanta as they are fighting to hold on to 4th place as a final spot for a playoff run. Palm Beach a bit behind is still alive and fighting to overtake the Madhatters.

The Eels take on Palm Beach this weekend while the Blades travel to Atlanta for their weekend series.

So much is riding in the next few weeks of games. The Eels are looking to secure 1st place while Tampa is pushing up to take back 1st place. However, the Eels are focused more on being playoff ready than the 1st place title.We still have some pieces to put in place and fine tuning our troops. Meanwhile, the Blades are looking to hold on to 3rd while Palm Beach is strung to edge out the Madhatters.

The Eels Premier take on the Jr Blades on Wed and the Typhoon this weekend while the Blades travel to Atlanta for what undoubtedly will be tough games.

The Eels Elite continue to dominate the Madhatters in their weekend series as they put 6 goals passed the Atlanta goalies and allowed none in game two. This was all offensive assault on the Madhatters net minders from the drop of the puck. The Eels set in motion a systematic and relentless battery of shots with 16 in the 1st period 17 in the 2nd and 9 in the 3rd 42 total. The Eels smothered the Madhatters from sustaining any offensive threat on them with holding them to 5 in the 1st period 6 in the 2nd and a stingy 6 in the 3rd for only 17 in the entire game. The Eels defensive play was phenomenal here and it frustrated the Madhhaters to no end.

The Two teams face-off again for game 3 of the weekend series at 9:00 am
