Guys the primary reason why you play Junior hockey is so you develop and advance on to the Next Level. For most players that is college. Well, as one of my players just realized he reached the Next Level when recently  while he was up in Boston for the Showcases, he received an email and text from his new college coach and the coach asked:
“What number would you like?”
“What is size would you be for the team track suite?”
“What size would you be for the team jerseys?”

Folks I cannot describe the look on my player’s face…filled with such emotion and excitement. This is what it is all about. This is the reason why players come to the Florida Eels Junior program. One cannot describe what it is like….As parents, teammates and future players, we promise to get you there as we have for 220 of our Alumni.
This was clearly the high point of our weekend. More important than any win or goal that was scored.

This is a great place to place your ad logo and sponsorship for the Florida Eels Jr Program. Please contact us directly and we will be glad to help place your ad right here.
