BOSTON, Mass. – As the 2014-15 season moves toward conclusion the Eastern Hockey League has announced its First and Second Team All-Stars, as voted upon by the EHL head coaches.  

The regular season champion Philadelphia Little Flyers and North Division champion New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs placed three players on the All-Star Teams while no other EHL team placed more than one player.

The voting of the head coaches mirrored the results in that statistical columns as the top three scorers – Jon Ruiz, Frankie Cefalu and Brent Beaudoin – make up the forwards on the First Team.  The EHL’s top two scoring defenseman – Cameron Dineen and Gabe Chuckran – make up the First Team’s defensive corps.  In goal, Trevor Micucci and Simon Leiva led the league in almost all statistical categories.

Both all-star teams are listed below.  The EHL individual awards will also be announced each day this week.

The EHL playoff championship series featuring the fifth-seeded Connecticut Oilers and the third-seeded Northern Cyclones will kick off this weekend in a Best-of-Five format to determine who advances to the USA Hockey National Tournament.
