22 Teams Remain in the EHL and EHLP

BOSTON, MA -- After a phenomenal set of Play-In Games on Wednesday, only 22 teams remain combined between the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) and the Eastern Hockey League Premier (EHLP).

EHL

In the EHL, the Seacoast Spartans pulled the upset of the day in the Play-In Round, knocking off the Walpole Express. With the 5-3 win, the Spartans now advance to take on the Vermont Lumberjacks.

As for the East Coast Wizards, their 2-1 victory over the New England Wolves sets up a First Round matchup with the Seahawks Hockey Club. The top-seed Boston Jr. Rangers and 2nd-seed New Hampshire Avalanche will now be watching closely this weekend, to see who they'll draw in the Second Round.

As for the teams down south, while the New Jersey 87s and Philadelphia Revolution rest during their bye week, they will keep their eye on a pair of compelling first round series.

In the first matchup, the Connecticut RoughRiders will play host to the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers for all three games. As for the #4 versus #5 matchup, this puts Team Maryland up against the Philadelphia Little Flyers, with the location alternating back and forth.

EHLP

As for the EHLP, the Walpole Express picked up a 3-2 victory over the Connecticut Chiefs, and thus earned a First Round matchup with the Railers Jr. Hockey Club.

As for the other upcoming series, the New England Wolves are set to host the Vermont Lumberjacks. Just like in the EHL, the top-seed Boston Jr. Rangers and 2nd-seed New Hampshire Avalanche await to learn their next opponent, with a trip to Providence, RI on the line.

As for the Mid-Atlantic Conference, with only four teams advancing to the playoffs, the New Jersey 87s--New Jersey Renegades and Philadelphia Little Flyers--Philadelphia Revolution series will each be getting underway about a week from today.
