The Florida Eels Have Advanced An Unprecedented 350 Players Into College.  The Florida Eels are the pinnacle of Premier and Elite Junior Hockey. Moreover our players average over $25,000 in scholarships and grants per year. That is over $100,000 for four years. This year alone with 12 plus players advancing to college this season our players will garner in excess of $300,000 per year and over a million dollars during their 4 years.

Both our Elite and Premier teams advanced to the USPHL Nationals. We have a direct Affiliation with its NCDC Affiliate the Islanders Hockey Club.

The USPHL is the best league in the Nation.  2,500+ NCAA Division. 1 and 3 Alumni. 1,100 currently playing college hockey.  Those are incredible numbers. Only the USHL has more. Simply put the USPHL is known as a college placement league. No other Tier II or Tier III Junior league can come close its accomplishments.

Every year the Eels are at the top of their Divisions and perform incredibly at playoffs

GM Frank Scarpaci often echoes, “ The true statistic in judging a team is how many players a program places in college.”

The Eels Program is all about player development. As you can see some programs say this but the Eels go beyond lip service… it defines excellence. 

This is what the Eels are all about: Player Development; and move players to college. It is most impressive to see our program accomplish this mission.

The Eels no doubt have a rich and storied history of college placement. To date the Eels have 236 alumni who have gone on to play college hockey.These include some of the most prestigious schools in the USA.
