The Eels are very excited and honored that 3rd year veteran forward  Tyler Gay will be retuning to the Eels lineup this Fall. Tyler is a local Florida player from the Tampa area and has been one of the best teammates in the Eels program. He is going into his 3rd season with the Eels and his 4th in Junior hockey. He is a high energy player who is a spark plug on and off the ice. He is a true veteran: he  brings experience, energy, passion and  calmness to the Team. He does not get raddled when things get tough. That is  not common amongst younger players.

He was the Elite team’s assistant Captain and spread his leadership influence  and skill to the younger guys. He was a key part of the Eels 23 game win streak, capturing First place in the tough Florida Division, Sweeping the playoffs in 2 games and advancing to the USPHL Nationals.

He not only brings solid tangible  skill to the program he infuses so many of the intangibles that makes this program so solid. Tyler echoes like many of th returnees “we have some very important unfinished  business  to take care of. He tasted the meal and now wants to do far more than sample the food. This is our time and we have the personnel”

We look forward to Tyler having a breakout year this season. Welcome back buddy
