SECRHL season off and running...

    The SECRHL season is now in full swing, teams traveled this past weekend to Snellville, GA and battled to establish themselves in their respective divisions.  DI defending champion NC State took a quick step forward in their title defense with convincing wins over FIU, James Madison and FSU B, they also squeaked out a one goal victory in a replay of last year's DI Championship game 6-5 over UCF.

 

In Division II the Emory Eagles were absent to begin their defense but the teams who are shooting to dethrone the Eagles showed up and fought hard.  Elon, Embry Riddle and new DII team UNC all had  three wins in their opening event.  DII is a wide open battle this year as the division has expanded to 12 total teams this season.

 

Division III which has been vacant in the Southeast since Valencia Community College disbanded some three seasons ago welcomed Broward Community College who drew a line in the sand by manhandling all four opponents they were slotted against.  BCC will travel to Savannah at the end of the month to face some new foes to see if they are truly as talented as they showed this first event.

 

Four schools have B teams this season, with only the University of Florida Gators team not attending the event, UCF, JMU and FSU all had good first events as they try to get organized for the battle to represent the SECRHL this season in the B division National Championships.

 

The SECRHL will convene again this season on October 28-29 in Savannah, GA at the Supergoose Sportsplex.  Come check out the quality hockey and the beautiful city of Savannah while rooting on your favorite teams in the 2nd event of the season!
