This weekend marks the 1st of 16 games the Premier and Elite teams will play against teams from across the USA in the Hub City event. It is indeed very exciting. This Saturday the Elite team breaks the ice with a home game at the Fort Myers Skatium at 9:00 pm vs the Northern Cyclones.

The Cyclones are traditionally a very strong team in the New England area and considered a perineal  powerhouse in the league. This year they have only played in 6 games and have won an impressive 5 of those starts The Eels have won 10 loss 10 and tied 3. This will be an excellent  game for the Eels Elite squad. A new team that we have not played this season.

We have been been working very hard since our return from the Christmas break so we are all very much anxious to get back and play once again and eager to play new competition

Florida Eels Elite Players Making Their Mark in the USPHL Division Stats Page. 

 

Assistant Captain showing his leadership is Kaleb Harrob who sits at 3rd in overall Elite Division league scoring with 12 goals and 17 assists for 29 points. In 5th place in the league stats and leading all Divisional Rookies is Anthony Zebley with 11 goals and 17 assists.  In the 16th spot is team Captain Landen Engles with 7 goals and 13 assists. And holding on strong on the 20th spot is Eels rookie defensemen and assistant Captain Ryan Chambre. Ryan is 6th overall in all league Elite rookies.  Veteran Matt Clift is close in the running at 23rd overall with 17 points 2 goals and 15 assists and rookie Mathieu Rioux is 35th with 6 goals and 9 assists.

 

This is a well-balanced squad, with 6 players with double digits  and it is especially impressive we have so many guys involved in the team’s scoring. The fact that we have 3 rookies leading the way shows our depth and confidence in all of our players and is indicative of our player development model.

GM Frank Scarpaci echoes that his phone has been burning up from College Coaches who have taken notice of our forwards who have been lighting the lamp. Look at the likes of Demeed Podrezov who is leading the league in Points Per Game. 2.32. In 19 Games he has 15 goals and 29 assists for 44 points. 3 others players in t.he league have more points but they have over 4 games played.  No doubt he is one of the league’s most talented and gifted players. Moreover, despite his offensive accomplishments, he is equally effective in the D zone. He simply suffocates his opponents and repeatedly thaws their attack with his tenacious back checking.

Also on the hit parade are TJ Zebley, (32 pts)  Gage Dill  (29 pts)  Tristan Roost (26 pts) and Jake Court ( 22 pts) And Taurin Haddon- Harris has been on his own tear right now with only 10 games played and he has 5 goals and 9 assists for 14 points average 1.40 points per game. These guys men amongst boys. They are key standouts whenever they are on the ice. Completely dominate. Each can thread the needle. They have the insatiable appetite to score. They are consummate competitors with unwavering commitment to win.

This is a high octane team and these guys ignite the offense and are opening eyes of many college coaches and recruiters.
