The United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) and the Florida Eels are committed to keeping a safe environment during these trying times. Here's the latest on the steps we are all taking.
 

Fort Myers Florida – The USPHL announced on Friday the formation of the ‘Player Safety Task Force’. The task force will consist of Rink Owners, Team Owners, General Managers, Coaches and Medical Professionals.

Per the league, the USPHL Player Safety Task Force will research and review all aspects of player safety, including Local, State and Federal guidelines for all League Members pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. Game day protocols, on-ice play and rules and regulations of the game will all be under review to ensure the health and safety of every USPHL player at all Youth through Junior levels. The USPHL Player Safety Task Force will present its findings on June 1. 

The Florida Eels have always placed the health and safety of our players first. No doubt the Eels have been the leaders in the fore-front here over the years implementing the highest hygiene practices for our program.  Our concern and attention is even more heightened this year  particularly true when it comes to the Covid-19  Coronavirus. This year we will be working with the USPHL League task force to ensure the safety of our players in a variety of ways taking many precautions and steps as delineated by health professionals across the USA and the world and league officials .

In addition, the Florida Eels  organization continues to work tirelessly to keep our facilities at the Fort Myers Skatium safe and ready. Since the onset of this outbreak in March, the City of Fort Myers and the Florida Eels organization has taken numerous steps to keep the Fort Myers Skatium Ice Arena in clean and in good condition.

The  City of Fort Myers  continues to regularly clean the Arena. They have a full custodial staff consisting of 6 full time personnel to systematically and continuously beach and disinfect its complete facility.  The disinfectant used is designed to kill cold and flu viruses and can kill noroviruses in just four minutes. In addition, the solution kills 99.9% of Bacteria, viruses, fungi & molds.

The solution has been recommended for use in places like schools, classrooms, airports, ambulances, restaurants, health care facilities and public buildings. It is being regularly used at Fort Myers Skatium Ice Arena in an effort to keep the building clean and safe for when our visitors can return.

Moreover, the Eels have already preempted steps that it deems necessary to ensure the safety of its players and staff. The Eels will be doing the following:

1. Purchase a disinfecting fogger and equipment. This is the same fogging machinery used to sterilize and disinfect restaurants, hotels hospitals schools and airplanes. All players’ locker rooms will be disinfected on a regular basis. 
2. Purchase disinfecting sprayer. This is the same spot machinery used to sterilize and disinfect restaurants, hotels hospitals schools and airplanes. All players’ locker rooms will be disinfected on a regular basis. 
3. Lysol and Clorox Bleach wipes will also be used to wipe down surface areas in locker rooms common areas and on the bus.
4. Player practice jerseys will be washed daily in hot water with regular detergent and boosted with OXY clean by Eels staff. 
5. Game jerseys will be washed after each game by Eels staff.
6. The Eels will be discontinuing the use of standard sports water bottles for use by players
7. The Eels will be purchasing over 100 cases of water 35 bottles per case for use by players during practices and games. 
8. Eels staff will provide separate sandwiches individually wrapped for players in between periods to ensure safety and freshness. 
9. The City of Ft Myers will be doing the highest standard of cleanliness on a daily basis which includes disinfecting all common areas and bathrooms. 
10. The Eels will be hosting weekly and sometimes daily discussions with our players on personal hygiene and precautions to ensure safety of its players.

A Message From GM Frank Scarpaci 

Hello Guys

I want to drop you all a note to say we are thinking of you and your families. These are very trying times and our strength and resolve are truly being tested. None of us could possibly have predicted this Global Pandemic. It has taken the lives of so many around the world and infected so many people. All we can do is take in the advice of our Federal, National State and local leaders as well as health care workers to self-quarantine and social distancing. My God, words none of us even echoed a week or two ago. How rapidly this fluid situation is. 

The one “positive” out of all of this, is it will require you to spend valuable time with your families your love ones. Let’s face it those are the most important people in your lives. We all have Facebook Twitter Instagram and other forms of social media to keep in contact with your friends and teammates. Yes, your Eels extended family. Let’s all be here, virtually, to support one another. We all know how important and supportive the Eels family is and has been to all of you, be it this year or for those who have been with us for several seasons.

For those planning on attending college this would be a great opportunity to jump on the SAT ACT Tofel studying. I know it is not what you want to hear but it is something that you need to hear. Indeed, you have hours and days and weeks to tackle this. 

I know in my heart of hearts we will all get through this. I have seen witnessed and experienced your incredible dedication and determination you expended this season. You have laid out unwavering commitment this season to be the best and both teams realized this finishing in first place. You should be very proud of your accomplishments this season.  But now is a new commitment. A new opponent. A new adversary. One that has never been thrusted upon us or on mankind. But let this be just another detour that we all over come and conquer. Hell, one thing you have been taught this season is to face and overcome adversity. But let’s not be careless and foolhardily. We cannot be reckless and allow this virus to overtake us. Be smart prudent and careful. Let’s us pray for all of us and our citizens around the world. 

During the past several weeks we all learned some very valuable lessons. These are lessons many of us have forgotten or have never known. What a dramatic turn of events and downright upheaval not only in our lives but also across the USA and the World. The things that were so important to all of us in the ice hockey world have become trivial. Just think of it. Simply 2-3 weeks ago we were planning and playing in our playoffs. For those who advanced we were competing in the Nationals. Indeed, during the weekend of March 16th my team was about to play in its first game at Nationals and it was canceled. We got word that not only was our little world of junior hockey being canceled or suspended but so wasn’t the NHL the NBA and virtually every sporting event and major event in the USA. Days later cities and counties were being quarantined and Stay at Home Quarantines were being triggered. Who knew what these terms and decrees meant? 

Then CCN, Fox News and all media outlets stared reporting. Not just in China Italy and South Korea but in our very country. For athletes we are used to competing on a daily and weekly basis. We train and plan to take on our adversary. But here we learn from our medical experts and healthcare providers as well as our national, state and local leaders that this is a new foe: a formidable opponent that leaves us no game film or data in how to combat its strengths. But as Americans and World Allies we see an incredible effort to band together and mount an offensive attack and establish defensive fortresses like never before. We see, the medical research and testing by scientist and chemist and medical experts, by doctors, nurses and all the medical staffers. The calling in of the National Guard and the Army Corp of Engineers, in building temporary hospitals and medical centers…. OMG the real heroes here: a new definition of Super Stars and MVPs. It’s funny, who scored what goal and who made that save or who captured that win is clearly irrelevant. We all have our eye on the big prize now. That is a cure! That is saving lives One by One!  That is garnering masks and Ventilators; the building of Medical Centers; protecting the first responders and medical staff who is laying their lives on the line every second of every day. 

Then there are the unsung folks: the grocery store clerks and pharmacy workers who have little or no protections. Let us all pray to whatever faith and to whichever GOD. 

This letter to you is not about hockey. Far from it. Except in one area. I want to call on all of those who I may have met over the years through scouting, recruiting, or who may have played on my teams or against my teams, please take a moment right now and say a prayer. Those days were for fun and games. This is not. Indeed, this is the most serious time in our lives.  You know what to say. In closing I echo the words you are hearing every day:

Take care of yourself, your family, your friends and the people where you live.  Be smart and continue the social distancing. Be compassionate have more patience, as we don’t know what others may be going through…. be considerate. We will soon be back to hockey, but things will never be quite “normal” as we won’t as a collective society allow this virus to creep back upon us. We will be better for it. A better person and better in mankind. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you!

SAT ACT and Tofel Training 

Guys throughout the season I have sent out constant reminders for you to prepare for SAT ACT and Tofel training.
This does not happen by itself. These are standardized TEST that are door openers for the colleges. The better the test scores the more money available as well as college acceptance.

There are many options available 
!. Study on your own
2. Attend formalized classes locally
3. Online classes some free some cost

For those in your last year it is critical for you to do this
For those who are 2000’s it is also important that you study and prepare as well as taking the Test, so you have a yard stick of where you are at and what you need to do to advance your scores. 
I have given the name of a commercial company that has been herald in the news and academic world to help students achieve some impressive results.
The ball is in your court and you need to take action. 
Coach Frank 

Folks have been asking us when their sons can return back home for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks

On November 22nd we have games at Hertz Arena vs the Jr Blades. The Elite team plays at 9:15 am. They are free to head home after 3:00 pm. Be careful that in many instances an Elite player can be called up to the Premier team and they play at 12:15 pm and they are free to go home after 6:00 pm. Also, if they need transportation to the airport this needs to be arranged as coaches and billet family’s schedules will be very tight on that Sunday. 

Like we said the Premier team also has games. The Premier team game starts at 12:15 pm. Premier team players are free to leave after 6:00 pm

Players are expected to return to Fort Myers on Nov. 29th ready for practice on Nov. 30

We have key divisional games that Friday and Sunday, so players need to be here for practice on Monday

Now concerning the Christmas break, we have the USPHL Florida Showcase Dec 17th – 21st. Players are free to go home on December 22nd . We have no idea what time the last games will be played on the 21st so we are asking you to make travel plans on December 22nd. 

The players are expected to be back in Fort Myers on  or before January 3rd. We are planning for the winter showcase which starts January 8th in Boston. But that schedule will not be available for a bit. Our guys need to be back ready for practice on Jan 4th. The games in Boston are key and we need everyone here.

Coach Frank

2. A “Designated Driver/Process” to allow safe/proper transportation of an ill/infected player back to their home, billet family or safe house.

Each Organization’s plan regarding the actions it will undertake to manage a player when a player or team personnel is determined to have contracted COVID 19, including the Safe House and Designated Driver Protocol, is due to the league office 3 days prior to the start of the organization’s team’s season.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

All USHPL members must use all reasonable best efforts to follow all federal, state, and local guidelines (collectively “COVID-19 Guidelines”) issued pertaining to Social Distancing.   

Facial Coverings

1. All team personnel and players must wear a facial covering at all times outside the ice surface and the team’s facilities within the rink or other buildings.   This includes to and from their mode of transportation, within the rink/facility as they are entering/leaving or traversing the building except when going on/off the ice.  
2. In public in general where there is exposure to the public – stores, school, town centers, etc.

USPHL Bubble 

Each organization is to define social boundaries for all team staff and players while not participating with the team.  Limitations should include prohibiting participation in social gatherings (“parities, etc.), attending concerts, movies and other forms of entertainment that place the team personnel and players in situations where there is an above usual potential for exposure to someone who has COVID-19.

End of Game 

Teams will not do a line handshake but will rather line up on the blue line and do a stick salute.

Florida Eels Junior Hockey Covid 19 Protocols

1. All players are to be tested prior to the arrival or commencing play for the 2020-21 season. 
2. All players will have daily temperature checks-as they enter the rink until further notice. 
3. If a player comes in contact with someone who they later discover to have contracted Covid-19, the player needs to immediately report this to either the Florida Eels General Manager Frank Scarpaci. 941-400-9023 GM@floridaeels.com  or Team Manager Clare Scarpaci 941-400-0712 eelshockeycoach@aol.com. Depending on the circumstances and the time period involved that player may need to undergo a period of quarantine. That player will need to be immediately tested. If the test proves positive, then that player must be quarantined for no less than 10 days. If the player is tested and the test comes back negative, then the player may resume activities. Any player who resides with the player must also be tested. 
4. All players are to wear face coverings or mask as recommended by the CDC while in the rink except when taking showers or while on the ice for practice or games. 
5. Players must wear masks while shooting pucks or otherwise working out on the sports court training rink at the Fort Myers Skatium.
6. All players must wear masks while training in the common field adjacent to the Fort Myers Skatium.
7. All players are to wear face coverings or mask as recommended by the CDC while traveling by bus to and from games. 
8. All players must adhere to the rules set forth by “away teams and their respective rinks and their rules and protocols while playing away games. This includes while in the common areas and if required in their parking lots and lockerooms. 
9. All players must follow all protocols and rules while we are lodging at hotels regarding social distancing and the wearing of mask and face coverings. 
10.  Players are to bring their own Gatorade type water bottle with their name clearly marked in permanent marker in several places.  Under no circumstances are players allowed to share any water bottles, sports drinks, chocolate milk etc. with one another.  It is incumbent upon that player to wash and sterilize it daily.  Otherwise that water bottle will not be allowed in the lockeroom or around the team. Other players should respect the players right to “exclusivity of his water bottle.” The Eels will provide cases of “bottled water” from Costco, BJ’s and the alike for players use. Under no circumstances should players use each others’ water bottles. 
11. The Eels purchased the state of the art Protexus Electrostatic Sprayer. The Eels will disinfect the locker rooms in keeping with the highest standards of disinfecting and preventing Covid-19 in hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, schools and airplanes. The Protexus Sprayer uses an electrostatic charge that allows the droplets to attract to the surface, rather than float in the air (which is typically associated with a standard mister or fogger). This touchless electrostatic spray “wraps around” surfaces & objects in 360°, providing 3x more coverage in the same amount of time than traditional spray bottles, buckets, and rags. The Eels will use this devise to disinfect its locker room, showers etc. to combat Covid-19 to the best of its ability.

12.   The Eels have purchased the Apollo, For UVC Room Disinfection lighting. The UV-C lamps to eliminate germs, bacteria, mold, and viruses. UV light is lethal to bacteria and viruses because of its high frequency that scrambles and damages their nuclear material.” The disinfection that comes from UV-C light disrupts the DNA of bacteria and viruses and they cannot build up an immune response to it. 

As these pathogens are exposed to UV-C light, they're rendered inactivated, can't reproduce, and become ineffective. Germicidal UV-C light inactivates viruses and purifies the air. Air purification happens comes from the ozone created from The Apollo. The germicidal UV-C light kills pathogens. The two cleaning methods work in synergy for the Two-In-One Cleaning effect.

Bacteria, germs, and viruses are inactivated because UV light disrupts their DNA.      They lose vitality and function. The result is clean surfaces and fresh air. The Eels will use this UVC lighting devise regularly to combat Covid-19 to the best of its’ ability.

13.   Practice jerseys will be laundered in hot water daily until further notice 

14.   The City of Fort Myers has one of the largest custodians and cleaning crews in the rink business. They have a complete staff that washes down common areas, chairs, doors, windows bathrooms etc. They use state of the art cleaning and disinfecting chemicals to combat Covid-19 to the best of their ability.

15.   The USPHL has engaged a major state of the art testing company to provide immediate testing results. The USPHL requires that players will be tested before overnight travel games such as 2 trips to Atlanta, 1 trip to Charleston, South Carolina; and one trip to Southeast Showcase in North Carolina and 1 trip to Boston.  The league has mandated testing of players before any overnight trips. The USPHL is mandating this test therefore all teams in the Southeast and Florida Divisions will be assessing an additional fee of $300.00 per player to cover the cost of this testing and administration.  If a player is tested positive or shows signs of sickness, he will not be allowed to join the team on the trip. 

16.   Any player who is tested positive must be quarantined and the parents will be expected to make arrangements to care for him. This may include traveling to join the player, temporary housing ,etc. within 48 hours of being notified.   

17.   If a player becomes ill while at an away game or trip the Eels will have an emergency driver to quarantine the player and transport him back to Ft Myers Fl. Then we will attempt to place him in a safe house apartment or hotel. Parents will be expected to take steps to join the player and pay for emergency lodging at a hotel or the alike. 

18.   If a player needs to seek medical treatment such as a doctor’s visit or urgent care, and the Eels have to pay for a doctor’s visit or medical services, the parents agree to reimburse the Eels for its expenses. 

19.   The Eels have contracted for gym membership for all players. Players are expected to participate in the assigned times for daily workouts and fitness training. Players will be expected to wear face coverings or mask while at the gym. While training the players are to adhere to the social distancing recommendations of 6 feet apart as recommended by the CDC. 

20.   Players understand that they need to abide by the recommendations of the CDC. This includes social distancing practices when possible. These are unusual times and the circle of friends will be limited. At least in the interim players will need to confine their social networking tothe players,  coaches and billet families. In the interest of protecting the players and the team, with the exception of the players family, players are not to engage in interaction outside the Eels organization or gathering in unrelated large groups. 

21.   Players are not allowed to visit or stay over other homes of players or friends until further notice. We are trying to adhere to the social distancing requirements of the CDC and the league. We remind players they are here for one purpose and that is to develop as a player and advance to college hockey. Players need to refrain from extraneous activities and gatherings that place them and other members of their team, their coaches and billet families at risk. We have witnessed first-hand the negative consequences that have occurred at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Notre Dame from players partaking in large scale fraternity events that flew in the face of the CDC guidelines. 

22.   The player understands that the Covid-19 situation is fluid and these protocols may need to be amended from time to time to ensure the health, safety and well-being of the player, his team, billet family and those around him.

Welcome All Florida Eels Players and Families to the 2020-2021 season.  It has been a long summer for everyone, and we cannot wait for you to be down here for the start of season in a few short weeks.  Below we have provided some information for the upcoming team orientation on August 29th.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHEN:

Our team orientation will begin the weekend of August 29th, 2020. The exact schedule will be sent out shortly. We will break up the orientation into two groups:  the first group will be with the Players and the second group will be with the Parents.  The exact times of the orientation will be sent out shortly.  We recommend that you arrive in Fort Myers on the 28th of August so that you will be here for the orientation.

WHERE:

The check in and orientation will take place at our home rink the Fort Myers Skatium.  The address for the Skatium is listed below:

Fort Myers Skatium

2250 Broadway

Fort Myers, FL 33901

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE I ARRIVE IN FORT MYERS:

Covid testing:

It is the league protocol that all players must be covid tested before reporting to orientation on the 29th of August.  We ask that you provide to us a copy of your test result.

Masks: Players will be required to wear face masks when they are in the Fort Myers Skatium in the lobby as well as all general areas of the rink.  They will not be required to wear a mask when on the ice.

Registration:

All players should register with the league by going to the league website.  Please go to usphl.com.  Once you are on the home page you will see a registration button.  Click on the button and follow the prompts.  It will ask you which organization you wish to register with and you will put Florida Eels.  It does not matter which team you chose (Premier or Elite) as once you select one of those divisions you will be registered with our organization.  

IMPORTANT:  If you are an international player (Canada) you must purchase your International Player’s Insurance before you can register.  To purchase the insurance go to usphl.com.  At the bottom of the page it will say International Player.  Click on that button and follow the prompts.  Once you have completed the purchase of the insurance you can then return to the home page and click on the registration button. Everyone must be registered BEFORE we get on the ice on Monday, August 31st.  If you are not registered you will not be allowed on the ice.

BILLETS:

The billet coordinating staff is working diligently to piece together what is the best billet for your son as well as the billeting family. We should have it accomplished shortly.  As soon as we have it completed we will inform all players and their families.  Most likely you will receive you billet information with the orientation schedule.

WHAT DO I NEED FOR BILLETING:

The simplest way to describe what you would need for billeting would be to prepare as if you were going away to a college dorm. What would you bring? Twin mattress pad, twin sheets, pillow, blanket or comforter, (5) towels, (5) face clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste deodorant shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving lotion, razor, etc. hangers.  If you would like you could bring your TV and gaming system.  

When packing your clothing be sure to include:  underwear, shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, dress shoes, socks, etc.

NORTH CAROLINA SHOWCASE:

The league has decided that the USPHL showcase originally scheduled for the end of September in North Carolina will be rescheduled for January.  All regular season games will take place as scheduled between the Florida Jr. Blades, Tampa Bay Juniors, Atlanta Madhatters, and the Charleston Colonials.  The December showcase in Florida and the showcase in January will remain the same.  

GAME WEAR:

Some players asked the question What do we wear to games? In our organization all players wear a suit and tie to all home and away games. The color of your suit is your choice.  Hats are not allowed while players are in their suits. 

I hope this gave everyone a little more clarification for the upcoming orientation weekend. We as a staff are thrilled and excited to see and meet all of you very soon. 

As always should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us.  I have listed contact information for our Head Coach as well as our Finance and Billeting Coordinator below.  I have also taken the liberty of listing a few hotels that are nearby should you be needing a hotel.

Two Florida Eels Forwards Chosen By League as All Stars 

USPHL Elite South Region 2019-20 All-Stars: Forwards

By USPHL Staff, 03/19/20, 6:15PM EDT

Congratulations to all of our USPHL Elite South Region All-Stars from the 2019-20 season. The All-Stars were selected by coaches from the region. 

Forwards

 Gavin Medina, Florida Eels

1999/Lockwood, Colo. - 44-16-33-49-1.11

Medina has been an Eels staple literally since 2015-16, and he’s especially been the heart and soul of the Eels Elite team, scoring 116 points in 132 games going back to that first season. He’s also played two full seasons with the Premier team over the years. He was the Eels leading scorer this season. 

Adam Burtzlaff, Florida Eels

2000/Broomfield, Colo. - 41-15-34-49-1.20

Burtzlaff came back from a Nationals run in 2019 to go for it again with the Eels. Though they were shocked by the Charleston Colonials in the playoffs, the Eels were still a powerhouse all season. Burtzlaff led the team in assists, game-winning goals (5) and tied for the lead in power play points (11). 

USPHL Elite South Region 2019-20 All-Stars: Defensemen and Goalies

Congratulations to all of our USPHL Elite South Region All-Stars from the 2019-20 season. The All-Stars were selected by coaches from the region.

Defensemen

Mikhail Melikov, Florida Eels

2002/Moscow, Russia – 34-21-15-35-1.03

The third-leading scorer in the USPHL Elite among defensemen, Melikov was also the most productive offensively in the South Region.

Additionally, no other Elite defenseman came within eight of his league-leading 21 goals. That sum was even good enough for top 10 overall in the league among all skaters. 

Congrats Two Florida Eels Selected : USPHL Premier South Region All-Star Defensemen And Goaltenders Jakub Kostelny, Defensemen  Egor Nosov, 

USPHL Premier South Region All-Star Defensemen And Goaltenders

 Congratulations to all of our USPHL Premier South Region All-Stars, representing the Florida and Southeast Divisions, and looking strictly at regular season performances. 

Best of luck to all of these players as they move forward in their hockey careers, either to collegiate hockey, to higher levels of junior hockey or returning to their teams for further development in 2020-21. 

Goaltenders

Jakub Kostelny, Florida Eels

1999/Trencin, Slovakia - 27-21-6-0-0-2.85-.915

Kostelny was the regular No. 1 for the Florida Division champions, posting 21 wins for the runner-up honors to Riedell in that category. For almost three months, he was nearly unbeatable, earning 14 of his 21 wins between Sept. 14 and Dec. 13, during which he posted these 14 wins in 15 games! His 813 saves on the season were good for 10th in the Premier Division. 

Defensemen

 Egor Nosov, Florida Eels

1999/St. Petersburg, Russia. 43-7-27-34-0.79

There are many reasons why the Eels have lost only 22 games in regulation the last two seasons, and Nosov has been chief among those reasons. Nosov was the Eels leader in time on ice (1182:24 over 807 shifts), and he was also their leader on the power play. Opponents didn’t have much of a chance to have the puck on their stick, as he was good for 707 takeaways for the season, as well. 

TWO FLORIDA EELS PREMIER FORWARDS Demeed Podrezov and  Jared Figueroa SELECTED AS YEAR END ALL STARS

Congratulations to all of our USPHL Premier South Region All-Stars, representing the Florida and Southeast Divisions, and looking strictly at regular season performances.

Best of luck to all of these players as they move forward in their hockey careers, either to collegiate hockey, to higher levels of junior hockey or returning to their teams for further development in 2020-21.

Forwards

 Jared Figueroa, Florida Eels

1999/Scotch Plains, N.J. – 44-21-29-50-1.14

There’s hardly a more ringing endorsement of a program than when someone spends four junior seasons with the same organization. Figueroa certainly benefited from the Eels’ comprehensive development system since 2016, culminating in this final season of his in which he’s been named a USPHL Premier All-Star. Figueroa spent a year and a half with the Eels Elite team, and he’s been with the Premier side since 2017-18. He’s increased his points output each season from 20 to 40 to 50. He ended his career in the top 40 all-time for the USPHL Premier in scoring and games played.

Demeed Podrezov, Florida Eels

2000/Muskegon, Mich. – 30-15-31-46-1.53

A midseason injury that caused Podrezov to miss all of December merely paused his season – it certainly didn’t slow the second-year Premier Eels player down. Upon his early January return, he torched the USPHL Winter Showcase for seven points in the three games he played. He finished the season on fire as well, posting 18 points in eight straight games from Jan. 16 to Feb. 21.

How to Email College Coaches

Sending an introductory email to a college coach can get your foot in the door with a program you’re interested in and give a coach the opportunity to conduct their initial evaluation of you. However, emailing college coaches as a means to get discovered isn’t as effective as it was five years ago. Coaches are getting hundreds—if not thousands—of emails from recruits. Simply sending an email isn’t enough to get a coach’s attention. You need to create clear, concise emails with attention-grabbing subject lines to give yourself a chance at the coach opening your email, reading it and responding.

Before you start firing off emailing college coaches across the country, there are a few specific details you need to know first. Here’s a rundown of what we’ll be covering to help you better understand how to email college coaches:

Quick Links

• Craft a subject line
• Personalize the body of the email

• Use our email templates
• Edit your email thoroughly

What subject line is best when emailing college coaches?

In talking about how to email college coaches, the subject line always comes up as one of the most critical pieces of the email. Without an eye-catching subject line, a coach won’t even open your perfectly crafted email.

To get started on writing your subject line, there’s a few key pieces of information you need to include: Your grad year, your position, state (if you’re emailing a local coach) and a piece of information that’s unique about you. Do you have a lightning fast 40-yard dash time? Are you looking at an academic-focused school that will be impressed with your ACT score? If you compete in a sport in which club teams are really important, consider adding in your club team and/or the tournament you’ll be at next. Once you determine that, take a look at just a few examples of well-crafted subject lines:

• 2020 Linebacker, 6’2” 220lbs, 4.6 40yd dash
• 2018 LH Pitcher, 90 MPH FB, 33 ACT
• 2021 from IL, 23.25-second 50 free
• 2019 Center-mid, Premier Academy, MLK Tourney schedule attached
• 2019 OPP, 9'8" APP, Premier VB Academy, video attached

Here are a few general tips to consider when creating your subject line for emailing college coaches:

• Think about what would be important to the coach. Generic subject lines like “football recruit” or “looking to play for you” and even “talented high school football prospect” are going to blend into the background of the coach’s inbox. Instead, do you have an interesting stat? Do you play a unique position? Is your height and weight important for your sport and position?
• Keep your subject line to 50 characters or less. Coaches are on the go and probably read the majority of their emails on their phone. An extremely lengthy subject line will only get cut off, so you need to maximize the space you have.
• Use numbers and stats in your subject line. We’ve hinted at this before, but including key stats in your subject line can really make an impact. Plus, numbers set your subject line apart from all the words crowding the coach’s inbox.

What to say when emailing a college coach

You’ve laid down the ground work, now it’s time to write the email! Think about your email like an inverted pyramid (https://www.getvero.com/resources/inverted-pyramid-method/). The top of the email is where you need to grab the coach’s attention. You can use a stat about the team that interested you or why you’d like to play for them. The next section is to give a little more information about yourself and to show the coach why you would be a good fit for their program. Here is the key information you want to be sure to include when emailing college coaches:

• Your general information: Name, graduation year, high school and club name
• Academics: GPA, test scores, if they would be important information for the coach you’re emailing
• Athletics: sports specific stats and relevant measurables
• Contact information: your phone number and email, as well as the contact information for your coaches 

The last section should be giving them a specific next step, such as letting the coach know you will be giving them a call at a specific date and time or inviting them to come see you compete. Whatever you do, avoid sending mass, generic emails out to all the coaches you want to contact when emailing college coaches. The coach will know if you took the time to personalize your email, and it will make a difference. Coaches want to recruit players who are genuinely interested in their program—most don’t have the time and resources to recruit an athlete who is not likely to commit to their school.

How to start an email to a college coach

Similar to your subject line, your opening needs to be attention-grabbing. Depending on the type of school and the coach—here’s where your research comes into play—your opening will change. If you’re looking at academically-focused schools, lead with how impressed you are by their academic record when emailing the college coach. If you’re emailing a school with a winning record, point out that you’d love to be part of such a successful legacy. There are numerous reasons you would be emailing a college coach. Here are a few examples of ways to open an email:

“I wanted to connect with you after speaking with Amber Brown, an athlete on your team. She told me about your coaching style and I believe that, based on your emphasis on work ethic and training, I would be a great fit for your program.”

“I’ve been following your program for a while, and recently found an article about you that inspired me. I wanted to connect with you because I think that I would be a great addition to your team.”

“In researching your program, I noticed that you will be graduating 5 seniors this year. I would love to help bridge the gap left by those departing seniors.”

How much information do I need to include in my email to college coaches?

This is an introductory email, so you don’t need to give the coach your whole history. Instead, tease a few key stats that you think this coach would be interested in knowing. Are you the ideal height and weight for your position? Include that. Do you have an outstanding GPA and test scores and you’re emailing an academically-focused coach? Include that. Also, make sure you include contact information for your current coaches: your club coach, high school coach, persona trainers, and anyone else that you have worked with for your sport. Then, link off to your NCSA recruiting profile where the coach can find your highlight video, all your stats and your personal statement.

At the end of your email, tell the coach what you’re going to do next

At the end, you want to specifically let the coach know what you’ll be doing next. If you’re planning on following up the email with a call, let them know to expect a call from you in the next few days. If you’d like to visit their campus, tell them you will give them a call to schedule a time to connect. You don’t need to use generic language like, “If you’re interested, feel free to call, email or text me.” If the coach is interested, they will contact you. Instead, tell them the next step you’re going to take, and then what they need to do in response.

Insider tip: Turn on your “read receipt” function to see if a coach has opened our email. This feature is really helpful for athletes who are too young to be contacted by a coach yet. Read receipts will let you know if a coach has received and opened your email, so you can be sure to follow up accordingly. Learn more about how you can enable this feature for your next email.

Sample email 2—Academic-focused email

Dear Coach Johnson,

I’m really impressed by your athletes’ dedication to both their athletics and academics. I noticed that you not only have a winning record, but you have set the school record for graduating the most athletes! As an aspiring college athlete, I am driven to excel both athletically and academically, and I believe I would be a great fit for your program.

My name is John Smith and I’m a left-handed pitcher with an 85-MPH fastball. My biggest asset is that I’m a team player who focuses both on the field and in the classroom. I’m currently in the top 5% of my class with a 4.0 GPA and a 32 ACT. I’d like to major in prelaw, and I’ve been researching your school’s well-known prelaw program.

You can view my profile for more information about my athletic and academic qualifications, as well as my skills video here: www.myNCSAprofile.org.

I’m planning a trip to visit your campus this September, and I would love to meet you or another member of your coaching staff. Can you please let me know if you have any availability to meet with me? I will also be calling you tomorrow at 5p.m. CT to schedule a meeting!

Thank you,

Before you send, edit, edit, edit

You’re so close to sending that email, but before you do, run spell check and re-read. A great way to catch strange wording or grammar errors is to read your email out loud. When you hear a phrase that sounds wrong, you’ll know you need to fix it. You can also cut and paste your email into Google Translate and listen for any errors.

Still not sure if the email is error free? Have your parents take a look to double check. Make sure that you have included all your contact information, your call to action and a link to your full recruiting profile

Insider tip: Try sending your email between 4-8 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday. Our data show that this is the best time to send an email to college coaches.

 

Congratulations—now you know how to email college coaches, from the research to the subject line, from address to the email body! But your work is not done yet.

College Application Hacks

By Kyle Winters, Next College Student Athlete10/02/19

Starting to apply for college can be an exciting time in a student’s life. Add in sports and things become just a tad bit trickier. You have to qualify academically and athletically if you want to be a college athlete. We all know there’s a hack for everything, but do you know any good hacks for college applications? NCSA shares a few below.

COLLEGE APPLICATION HACKS THAT CAN HELP YOU GET ACCEPTED

Most student-athletes who are aiming to get recruited and compete for a college roster spot are hyper-focused on improving their athletic skills to grab a college coach’s attention. However, all that effort may not help much if you can’t get accepted into the college you’re targeting. At many sports programs, if you can’t get admitted to the school based on your academic merits, your athletic background and the coach won’t be able to do much to help. Academics should be a top priority when you’re thinking about becoming a college athlete.

That’s why it’s not only important to keep up your grades and study for standardized tests but to also put effort into the college application process. Start researching colleges early to identify the types of school that may be a right fit. NCSA encourages student-athletes to make a list of dream, target and safety schools. Once you have your list of schools, you want to make sure that you begin applying to them early because it could increase your chances of getting accepted.

GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR ADMISSION ESSAY

College admission essays can be a lot different than the essays you’ve written over the past years. They aren’t like the research papers you’re used to writing, instead they’re the perfect place to creatively tell the story of who you are and why a school should accept you. In fact, it may be creativity that increases college admission rates. Of course, creativity is subjective, so this really comes down to a few factors.

First, college admissions professionals wade through giant stacks of essays, many of which are boring, typical and forgettable. You want to captivate your reader’s mind. They are reading thousands of applications so you want to pick a topic that isn’t common and display your personality as creatively as you can within your essay. Write about something that matters to you and don’t force something that isn’t you. And if you think your chance of getting in is a longshot, maybe it’s time to write something that will blow someone’s mind. After all, what do you have to lose? It’s a perfect chance to throw a Hail Mary.

APPLYING EARLY CAN BOOST YOUR CHANCES

The saying, “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is unacceptable” is extremely true when it comes to applying to college. Some admission experts argue that applying early during the early action period boosts your chances of getting in at certain schools. Some also say that this is a result of stronger candidates applying early, but CollegeVine argues that “data shows that applicants across the board have a higher chance of gaining acceptance when they apply through early decision, even when differences in candidate strength are accounted for.” Applying early can not only boost your chances of being accepted but it also gives you time to apply to more schools if you aren’t accepted into one of your dream schools. Be sure to apply to enough dream, target and safety schools.

USE THE COMMON APPLICATION TO SAVE TIME

Currently, 872 colleges use the Common Application (also known as the Common App) and it can help you save a lot of time throughout the application process. You can fill out general information like GPA and your extracurricular activates and use the Common App to apply to your dream, target and safety schools instead of filling out this information each time you apply. Common App is helpful because it makes sending out your admission essay very convenient. You’re able to keep everything organized and send your essay out to multiple colleges. And the best part about the Common App is that it’s free!

APPLY WITH A SPECIFIC MAJOR TO IMPROVE ODDS

Some majors have stricter admission requirements than others. For example, it can be easier to get admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences than it is to the College of Engineering. Assess where you are academically and what your potential career goals are before applying to schools. A hack to getting into your dream or target school may be to choose a major that has less restrictions and requirements. Some colleges have varying admission standards among their different schools. Your best bet? Do your research ahead of time and if you feel like you may have slim chances of getting into a reach school, this may be a strategy worth trying out.

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.

Coaches often get it wrong "They tell players they will make you 25% better if you play for them"  The Eels try to make our players 1% better every  time they hit the ice  - practice  every game Do the math that is 200 times = 200 % 

The difference between being a top end player and the one who floats in the middle - is the player who develops his intuitive knowledge. Well how does a player develop this Hockey IQ. How do you gain this hockey IQ or Hockey Sense? He needs to attend: The Hockey University. Where are these classes held? The Classroom is your living room broadcasted via your TV. Yes the lessons are watching games. Over and over and over. Young players fail to do this on a regular basis. Sure they watch the games and look at highlights of specular plays but that isn't what is needed. You need to WATCH the game. You don't need to master plays and drills. You need to know what to do in game situations. Some of you get what i am saying and for some, unfortunately it is going over the rafters.

Congratulations to Eels forward Nikita Pinimyasov and broadcaster Nick Roesch on being chosen for @The_DanKShow's Premier All-Star Team! 

Folks as all of you know off ice Strength and Conditioning Training is just as important as ice sessions for players to reach the Next Level in high level hockey. This is why so much attention is given at the USA National team and NCAA Div. I and III college hockey programs. Indeed, it is during the off season that players need to build strength in their upper and lower body, to increase endurance and develop explosive speed.

How to Email College Coaches

How to email college coaches.
Sending an introductory email to a college coach can get your foot in the door with a program you’re interested in and give a coach the opportunity to conduct their initial evaluation of you. However, emailing college coaches as a means to get discovered isn’t as effective as it was five years ago. Coaches are getting hundreds—if not thousands—of emails from recruits. Simply sending an email isn’t enough to get a coach’s attention. You need to create clear, concise emails with attention-grabbing subject lines to give yourself a chance at the coach opening your email, reading it and responding.

Before you start firing off emailing college coaches across the country, there are a few specific details you need to know first. Here’s a rundown of what we’ll be covering to help you better understand how to email college coaches:

Quick Links
Craft a subject line
Personalize the body of the email
Use our email templates
Edit your email thoroughly

What subject line is best when emailing college coaches?
In talking about how to email college coaches, the subject line always comes up as one of the most critical pieces of the email. Without an eye-catching subject line, a coach won’t even open your perfectly crafted email.

To get started on writing your subject line, there’s a few key pieces of information you need to include: Your grad year, your position, state (if you’re emailing a local coach) and a piece of information that’s unique about you. Do you have a lightning fast 40-yard dash time? Are you looking at an academic-focused school that will be impressed with your ACT score? If you compete in a sport in which club teams are really important, consider adding in your club team and/or the tournament you’ll be at next. Once you determine that, take a look at just a few examples of well-crafted subject lines:

2020 Linebacker, 6’2” 220lbs, 4.6 40yd dash
2018 LH Pitcher, 90 MPH FB, 33 ACT
2021 from IL, 23.25-second 50 free
2019 Center-mid, Premier Academy, MLK Tourney schedule attached
2019 OPP, 9'8" APP, Premier VB Academy, video attached
Here are a few general tips to consider when creating your subject line for emailing college coaches:

Think about what would be important to the coach. Generic subject lines like “football recruit” or “looking to play for you” and even “talented high school football prospect” are going to blend into the background of the coach’s inbox. Instead, do you have an interesting stat? Do you play a unique position? Is your height and weight important for your sport and position?
Keep your subject line to 50 characters or less. Coaches are on the go and probably read the majority of their emails on their phone. An extremely lengthy subject line will only get cut off, so you need to maximize the space you have.
Use numbers and stats in your subject line. We’ve hinted at this before, but including key stats in your subject line can really make an impact. Plus, numbers set your subject line apart from all the words crowding the coach’s inbox.

What to say when emailing a college coach
You’ve laid down the ground work, now it’s time to write the email! Think about your email like an inverted pyramid (https://www.getvero.com/resources/inverted-pyramid-method/). The top of the email is where you need to grab the coach’s attention. You can use a stat about the team that interested you or why you’d like to play for them. The next section is to give a little more information about yourself and to show the coach why you would be a good fit for their program. Here is the key information you want to be sure to include when emailing college coaches:

Your general information: Name, graduation year, high school and club name
Academics: GPA, test scores, if they would be important information for the coach you’re emailing
Athletics: sports specific stats and relevant measurables
Contact information: your phone number and email, as well as the contact information for your coaches 
The last section should be giving them a specific next step, such as letting the coach know you will be giving them a call at a specific date and time or inviting them to come see you compete. Whatever you do, avoid sending mass, generic emails out to all the coaches you want to contact when emailing college coaches. The coach will know if you took the time to personalize your email, and it will make a difference. Coaches want to recruit players who are genuinely interested in their program—most don’t have the time and resources to recruit an athlete who is not likely to commit to their school.

How to start an email to a college coach

Similar to your subject line, your opening needs to be attention-grabbing. Depending on the type of school and the coach—here’s where your research comes into play—your opening will change. If you’re looking at academically-focused schools, lead with how impressed you are by their academic record when emailing the college coach. If you’re emailing a school with a winning record, point out that you’d love to be part of such a successful legacy. There are numerous reasons you would be emailing a college coach. Here are a few examples of ways to open an email:

“I wanted to connect with you after speaking with Amber Brown, an athlete on your team. She told me about your coaching style and I believe that, based on your emphasis on work ethic and training, I would be a great fit for your program.”
“I’ve been following your program for a while, and recently found an article about you that inspired me. I wanted to connect with you because I think that I would be a great addition to your team.”
“In researching your program, I noticed that you will be graduating 5 seniors this year. I would love to help bridge the gap left by those departing seniors.”
How much information do I need to include in my email to college coaches?

This is an introductory email, so you don’t need to give the coach your whole history. Instead, tease a few key stats that you think this coach would be interested in knowing. Are you the ideal height and weight for your position? Include that. Do you have an outstanding GPA and test scores and you’re emailing an academically-focused coach? Include that. Also, make sure you include contact information for your current coaches: your club coach, high school coach, persona trainers, and anyone else that you have worked with for your sport. Then, link off to your NCSA recruiting profile where the coach can find your highlight video, all your stats and your personal statement.

At the end of your email, tell the coach what you’re going to do next

At the end, you want to specifically let the coach know what you’ll be doing next. If you’re planning on following up the email with a call, let them know to expect a call from you in the next few days. If you’d like to visit their campus, tell them you will give them a call to schedule a time to connect. You don’t need to use generic language like, “If you’re interested, feel free to call, email or text me.” If the coach is interested, they will contact you. Instead, tell them the next step you’re going to take, and then what they need to do in response.

Insider tip: Turn on your “read receipt” function to see if a coach has opened our email. This feature is really helpful for athletes who are too young to be contacted by a coach yet. Read receipts will let you know if a coach has received and opened your email, so you can be sure to follow up accordingly. Learn more about how you can enable this feature for your next email.

Sample email 2—Academic-focused email
Dear Coach Johnson,

I’m really impressed by your athletes’ dedication to both their athletics and academics. I noticed that you not only have a winning record, but you have set the school record for graduating the most athletes! As an aspiring college athlete, I am driven to excel both athletically and academically, and I believe I would be a great fit for your program.

My name is John Smith and I’m a left-handed pitcher with an 85-MPH fastball. My biggest asset is that I’m a team player who focuses both on the field and in the classroom. I’m currently in the top 5% of my class with a 4.0 GPA and a 32 ACT. I’d like to major in prelaw, and I’ve been researching your school’s well-known prelaw program.

You can view my profile for more information about my athletic and academic qualifications, as well as my skills video here: www.myNCSAprofile.org.

I’m planning a trip to visit your campus this September, and I would love to meet you or another member of your coaching staff. Can you please let me know if you have any availability to meet with me? I will also be calling you tomorrow at 5p.m. CT to schedule a meeting!

Thank you,

John Smith

Before you send, edit, edit, edit
You’re so close to sending that email, but before you do, run spell check and re-read. A great way to catch strange wording or grammar errors is to read your email out loud. When you hear a phrase that sounds wrong, you’ll know you need to fix it. You can also cut and paste your email into Google Translate and listen for any errors.

Still not sure if the email is error free? Have your parents take a look to double check. Make sure that you have included all your contact information, your call to action and a link to your full recruiting profile

Insider tip: Try sending your email between 4-8 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday. Our data show that this is the best time to send an email to college coaches.
Congratulations—now you know how to email college coaches, from the research to the subject line, from address to the email body! But your work is not done yet.
