It is the first time the EHL has picked up multiple wins against collegiate teams in a single season, as all three teams earned a victory. The Northeast All-Stars defeated Keene State College 5-3. The Mid-Atlantic All-Stars knocked down Post University 5-3, and the Main All-Stars beat Elmira College 3-1.
“I think these wins prove the depth of the league and how many good players we actually have and how many Division III college hockey players we have,” said New Hampshire Avalanche head coach Chris Cerrella, who led the Main All Stars along with Express Hockey Club coach Nic Cota. “We proved it to everyone once again, it’s all we really have been doing, is proving that we’re a Division III stomping ground when it comes to commitments, and this week of All-Star games against NCAA teams, the wins, the losses, the close games, just proved to everyone once again that we’re on top of that.”
Here is a recap of all the College Series games that took place this week between the three All-Star teams.
