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.

Congrats to Landon Engles Forward and Defense Vince Cartier Player of the Week 12’12’20

USPHL Elite Players Of The Week: South Region

Week of Dec. 12, 2020

By USPHL Staff

Southeast Division
Forward: Michael Miller, Charlotte Rush
The local Charlotte product picked up three goals and one assist in a single game against Charleston, helping key a weekend sweep. Miller has swung between the Premier and Elite teams this season as a second-year Rush.

Defense: Kameron Williams, Richmond Generals
The Generals went 2-1 in their tight weekend series with Peninsula rivals the Whalers, and Williams was in on both the offense (1-2-3 line for the three games) plus keeping the Whalers to six goals in three games.

Goaltender: Jacob Sanders, Potomac Patriots
Unfortunately for Sanders (‘02/Spring Hill, Va.), the Pats did not pick up a victory against the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes, but he kept the Patriots in every one of three close matches, including a Dec. 3 OT loss. The Jr. Canes scored a total of just five goals on 104 shots, giving Sanders a .943 save percentage for the weekend.

Florida Division
Forward: Landon Engles, Florida Eels
Engles (‘03/Sioux Falls, S.D.) posted a pair of goals and assists for four points in pushing the Eels to a close weekend sweep against the powerhouse Juniors to start December. Engles has now moved to a 7-13-20 line for 15 games.

Defense: Vince Cartier, Florida Eels
The ‘04 out of Drummondville, Que., took a move to a different country – and vastly different climate – to perfect his game with the Eels, and has progressed very well early on. He scored two goals in the Eels’ win over the Juniors.

Goaltender: Nate Flores, Charleston Colonials
Flores stopped 40 of 44 shots for the Colonials in a knock-down drag-out battle with Charlotte on Dec. 6. Though the Rush ended up coming out with the 4-1 victory, the ‘02 from Cave Creek, Ariz., is certainly rounding into form. He had also given up just one goal in 15 minutes of work against a strong Carolina team in November.
