The Florida Eels Elite team picked up where they left off at the USPHL Southeast Showcase in North Carolina. In their final game against the Potomac Patriots the Eels out gunned the Patriots 8-0. Last night the Eels continued with their offensive tent attack firing 58 shots at the Jr Blades goalie. Their attack netted 8 goals for the young guns. Moreover, the scoring was balanced among a number of different players. This was the same stanza against the Potomac Patriots.  Coach Hill has built his team as a team. Quite impressive.

 

Equally strong was our defense and goaltending. We kept our shots against to 34. Jake Mork slammed shut all but one suitor maintaining the game to 8-1 margin. To appreciate this game was not just the Eels scoring. No, it was their complete play. They were in control from the outset. An early goal, a relentless fore-check and a denying back check. This was an incredibly strong effort in front of a good crowd. Great job guys
