Florida Eels Jr. Team at the NHL Pre Draft Showcase
The Florida Eels Jr Team has an incredible showing at the New England NHL Pre Draft Showcase winning 2
games and losing one to the Nationally renowned Bean Town Bullies.
The Eels fought a hard battle against the Beantown Bullies Friday morning at 7:00 am. In the stands watching the Eels were 11 Div I and 3 Colleges including BU BC Northeastern, Holy Cross and others. Moreover, also in attendance were the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets and Florida Panthers.
Despite the loss, the Eels played phenomenal. The average size of the Beantown and New Jersey and the Hitman players was over 6′0 tall. The Beantown Bullies had over 16 players who played Major Junior, Prep School or Junior A Elite and the Hitman had an equally potent group of boys.

The Walpole Express fell to the Eels in a 5-2 old fashion barnburner. The Walpole Team had many of their Junior A and B players in that game
Over all the Eels had a fantastic weekend. The weekend was filled with enormous exposure opportunities and visibility unlike never before.
