The Florida Eels Are Thrilled to Announce they have signed High End  Tier I AAA Forward Carl Ingalls from Winnipeg Canada

Ingalls a 2002 joins the Eels. The Eels had the pleasure of having Carl Ingalls from Winnipeg Canada join us this past weekend at the New England Pro Am Pre Draft Showcase in Boston Mass. And we were indeed impressed. This is a player we had our eye on for some time and we got to experience first-hand his high compete level. This is a young man who likes to drive the play. He was first on the fore-check, first to the net and first on the back check. He  is a strong skater  with quick acceleration. He is determined to be “that guy.” He has nice hands and was involved in most of the scoring throughout the weekend set of games.

We were impressed with him from the outset. At practice he was outworking most of the guys. He did so many little things right at the scrimmage games and then took things to the Next Level during the official Pre Draft  Showcase games. We had 6 coaches working with the Eels  there, and all of them  were boasting about Ingalls. He has had equally strong success in his development back in Canada. In his Tier I AAA programs he earned 63 goals and added 94 assists in the last several years in his hometown in Winnipeg.  We love his attitude. He is so energetic and brings enormous energies to the team.  It is down right infectious. We are thrilled Carl will be joining us this Fall. Another top Canadian player joining our ranks.

The Eels are very excited that they signed right shot forward Braeden Bzovey to the upcoming season.  Bzovey is from Winnipeg Canada. He is a strong skater with quick acceleration.  Braeden has excellent skill set; he has great hands and can move the puck very well. He has outstanding puck control; has excellent vision and has been known to put the puck in the net. Recently in his Tier I AAA league, in 36 GP he scored 11 goals and notched 23 assists for 34 points. That was done in a very tough league. Overall, at the Tier I level in 72 games he scored 21 goals garnered 31 assists for 52 points.

Bzovey is a shifty player who evades his competition. First on the fore-check. Plays with a high compete level. He has very good hockey IQ. He has had solid development and looking to take his game to the Next Level with the Eels. He joins a number of fellow Canadians this season making the jump to the Eels. We are very excited to have him join our program. He fits very well within our culture. This is a high character player with solid leadership traits.
