“These showcases will be a great opportunity for our organization to determine where we’re at in our recruiting process so far.  Matched up against some of the top teams in the EJHL and Empire, will present immense competition for us.  As soon as our season ended we assessed where we were at that point.  Now, the focus is on where we want to be for the upcoming season”, said, Coach Bloomingburg.  The Eels staff got right to work scouting showcases every weekend thus far - in Michigan, Indianapolis, Wisconsin, Illinois, Pittsburgh and now they’re off to New England.  The Eels hard-nosed approach to scouting this offseason directly correlates to how they expect their teams to play - all out, every shift!
