On this week's episode of the #EShow, we head North to Laconia, New Hampshire, and highlight the New England Wolves. Jake Basile chats with Tim Kunes, as the former National Champion at Boston College, prepares for another season at the helm in arguably the toughest division in the league. Working alongside Wolves' General Manager and EHLP Head Coach, Andrew Trimble, Kunes has helped the Wolves take a major step forward each and every season since the duo purchased the program back in 2018. Now, looking ahead to the upcoming 2023-24 campaign, the Wolves' sights are set on Providence, Rhode Island, as both Trimble and Kunes are hungry to make it back to the Frozen Finals.

#EShow EP178 | Hungry Like The Wolves

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we head back to the East Division, and highlight the Seahawks Hockey Club. Heading into the program's 7th season in the league, Bill Zaniboni sits down with Jake Basile to discuss what his organization has established in a little over half a decade. Looking back on this past year in particular, and outside of the 21 victories their EHL team racked up, it was another consistent year in terms of NCAA Commitments for the Seahawks. With 10 additional advancements, Zaniboni has helped 66 players make their NCAA Commitment to date, and history tells us that total will likely increase up to at least 75 during the upcoming 2023-24 season.

#EShow EP177 | Seaing Results

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we welcome back the Bridgewater Bandits to the EHL and EHLP. Jake Basile chats with Scott Drevitch, as the Bandits make their return to the league, after departing following the conclusion of the 2016-17 season. Drevitch highlights the feelings Bridgewater has towards returning to the EHL and EHLP, and discusses how anxious they are to get started. Having established a strong culture over the years, Drevitch is happy to have his program back in the spot where they first created their original identity. Opening day for the Bandits' EHL team is set for September 21st on the road against the Express, while the EHLP team will host the Lumberjacks for a pair of games on the 15th and 16th.

#EShow EP176 | Building Bridges

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we feature a program that is racking up their total number of appearances at the Frozen Finals, the Railers Jr. Hockey Club. Jake Basile chats with Sean Bertoni, as the Head Coach and GM looks back on last season, but also ahead with his sights set on redemption this upcoming year. Both teams, EHL and EHLP, made their 2nd Frozen Finals appearances this past March, and the sting of how each season ended, has given Bertoni, his staff, and the rest of the Railers extra motivation this off-season. Tack on last year's 11 NCAA Commitments, and on top of the success in the win column, Bertoni and the Railers have already helped 35 players advance to the next level, in just four seasons in the league. The Railers have developed their own model, and they're chugging along.

#EShow EP175 | Model Trains

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we feature the first of two new programs in the South Division, the New Jersey Bears. Located in Flemington, NJ, the Bears have purchased and relocated the Protec Jr. Ducks franchise this off-season. Jake Basile chats with Jason Kilcoyne, as the former Assistant Coach of the 2016-17 EHL Champions, the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers, discusses his return to the league, as the man at the helm for the Bears. Kilcoyne is hopeful that New Jersey can pick up where Protec left off, which ended by finishing in 1st place in the South Division at the end of this past regular season.

#EShow EP174 | Bearing Down

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we shift our way back to the East Division, and highlight the Express Hockey Club. Jake Basile chats with Nic Cota, as the former defenseman for the Express looks back on his first season as the Head Coach down in Walpole. While the 2022-23 campaign unfortunately ended for Cota's team in triple overtime of game #3 in the East Division Final, he's still beyond proud of what his group accomplished along the way. With 10 players departing for nine different schools this fall, Cotra puts extra stock in that success from this past season, as ultimately reaching the NCAA level is the goal of every junior hockey player.

#EShow EP173 | Express Way

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we feature the only EHL program that has appeared in all five editions of the Frozen Finals, the New Hampshire Avalanche. Jake Basile chats with Chris Cerrella, as the Head Coach and General Manager of the Avs reflects on another record-setting season for his program. While Cerrella has helped over 160 players make that NCAA Commitment while playing in the EHL, that impressive total includes over 100 players since he helped launch the Avalanche program, a milestone marker that he surpassed this past season as part of the 16 new players that have chosen their next step. Simply put, the Avalanche sit towards the top of teams in all of junior hockey, averaging over 17 per season.

#EShow EP172 | Committed to Commitment

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we work our way back to the Central Division, and highlight the Hockey Club of Rhode Island. Jake Basile chats with James Mello, as HCRI turns the page towards their second season in the EHL. The inaugural campaign for the league's first-ever franchise in Rhode Island went as well as they could have hoped for, as the team finished in 2nd place in their division. Now as the program looks ahead towards this upcoming season, Mello is proud to have the foundation established for their franchise. The challenge coming up however, will be to take another step forward, as they hit the recruiting roads harder than ever this off-season.

#EShow EP171 | On The Rhode Again

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we head back south and feature the Philadelphia Little Flyers. Jake Basile chats with Mark Catron, following another solid season in the league, highlighted by the EHL team's second consecutive appearance at the Frozen Finals. At the top level, Philadelphia has reached the finals in four of the five years of the event, while their EHLP team has made two appearances of their own. You can label Philadelphia as 'Frequent Flyers' of the annual Road to Providence. Catron reflects on this past season, as well as the excitement he has over the core group of players that are returning to the program this upcoming year.

#EShow EP170 | Frequent Flyers

On this week's episode of the #EShow, we shift back to the East Division and highlight the East Coast Wizards. Jake Basile chats with Kory Falite ahead of his 8th season with the program, and his 4th year as the Head Coach. Falite reflects on what was another solid season this past year, including helping advance nine players onto NCAA Division II and III schools for the third straight campaign. The Wizards are proud of the consistency they've established, while continuing to develop their players for the next level. An icing on the cake this upcoming year for Falite, would be for the Wizards to find their way out of their tough division and advance back to Providence for the first time since 2019.
