Eels Announce Scott Harrington Coach For PeeWee Team

Florida Eels Youth Ice Hockey

The word came to us in an email today from the Florida Eels hockey director, Frank ScarpaciScott Harrington will be coaching the Eels PeeWee ice hockey team in the 2010-2011 travel season.

Coach Frank says, “Scout will undoubtedly be able to build on those players moving up with his extensive experience, his skill and knowledge of the game. It is our goal to work on skill development and to prepare them for their journey one day to play college hockey.”

The PeeWee age can be the most challenging age in ice hockey for the coach as well as the players.  The players need to start learning proper body contact, checking and working on their slap-shots.  The coach will also need to stress the fact of playing as a team to the players and teach them to work together as one.  “Scott has been selected based on his experience and reputation” says Coach Frank.

Many of the PeeWee players played in the Squirt league this past season and had an outstanding year.  With a win in Huntsville Alabama, at the Regional Silversticks, these kids will have a great upcoming year as PeeWee’s under Coach Scott.

Congratulations Coach Scott your deserve it.

The Florida Eels are very excited about the prospects of having 5 travel teams in the fall 2010. All of the teams will be playing in the FAHL. At tryouts, we will determine whether the teams will play AA or A. It is the policy of the Florida Eels organization that the level of the team should be decided when we evaluate the talent of the players at tryouts rather than arbitrarily designate AA or A.  The Eels teams will be having 3 practices per week for all of the player.  Also 2-3 hours of fitness and off-ice training as well.  In order to

give each player and team the most out of their season.

The league provides a 20 game schedule.  The Eels do not mandate that teams participate in extra tournaments but do strongly encourage that the teams partake in 1-3 Florida Tournaments. Since tournaments are optional these fees are not included.

Tryout includes off-ice strength and conditioning evaluations and on-ice competition. Cost for the tryout weekend will be $100.00 for the primary tryout and $20.00 for each additional tryout weekend.

Eels Bantam AA Team Finalist At Big Bear MLK Tournament

The Florida Eels Bantam AA team competed in the Big Bear MLK Tournament this past weekend in Brandon FL.  The composition was very strong and all of the team seemed to be tough.  The Eels played their first game against the Brandon Bulls on Saturday in the morning.  The game ended with a score of 5-2 with the win going to the Bulls.  Trey Dougherty got both of the goals for the Eels with and assist on the second goal coming from Joey Colatarci.  It the second game of the tournament the Eels faced the Jr. Trashers where the Bantams came out hard and ready to play. They got the win, 4-3 from 4 different players.  Bill Carmelia, Jordan Court, Joey Colatarci, and Trey Dougherty.  The assists came from Marlin Schmidt, and Bill Carmelia.

The Sunday game brought the Jacksonville Barracudas and the Florida Eels together and the score ended in a 1-1 tie.  Sean Kopper got the only goal for the Eels and the assist went to Trey Dougherty.  This keep the team worried that they would have to settle for playing in the consolation game for 3rd or 4th place.  But later that Sunday night the Trashers and the Barracudas would have to play and the final score put the Trashers on top with the win giving the Eels just enough points to face the Brandon Bulls once again, but this time in the Championship game.  This was a great game that the Eels had.  The 1st period ended 0-0.  2nd period ended with the Bulls in a 1-0 lead.  In the 3rd period Bill Carmelia found the back of the net to make the score 1-1.  With just about half of the final period left the bulls took the lead again and very late in the game put one more in on us to take the championship 3-1.

The tournament officials recognized Brian Hotaling as the Tournament MVP in goal.  The team did have a good weekend and they did play hard.
