Neil Ravin, in his 10th year with the EHL, serves as the Commissioner for the league. In nine seasons with the EHL, Ravin has helped more than quadruple the league’s following across social media, all while also serving as the play-by-play broadcaster for over 75 games during the 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 seasons. Ravin is also the host of the #EShow Podcast, which debuted back in January of 2020, with a new episode released every Thursday throughout the year. Ravin brings with him experience from working for the Portland Pirates (AHL), the Portland Sea Dogs (AA - Baseball), and the Hockey East Association (NCAA Division I). A Maine native and a graduate of Quinnipiac University (2013), Ravin earned a degree while studying Broadcast Journalism in college, and spent much of his senior year (2012-13) covering the men's hockey team on their run to their first Frozen Four appearance in Pittsburgh, PA. Ravin has since played an integral role in developing the league's version of the Frozen Four, the EHL Frozen Finals at Providence College.

In addition to the annual Frozen Finals, Ravin also has taken the EHL Showcase Series to new heights since joining the league, helping to provide all players with unmatched levels of exposure at each season's league-wide events.

Along with the EHL Showcase Series, Ravin also helped form the EHL All-Star College Series, in which the league faces off in a group of exhibition games against NCAA opponents. The EHL is the only junior hockey league in the United States that provides this unique opportunity to its players.

Whether you're looking to break into the league through the EHL Combine Series, gaining exposure while playing in the EHL Showcase Series and EHL All-Star College Series, or claiming a trophy at the EHL Frozen Finals, Ravin has his fingerprints on every league event that transpires in every calendar year -- working hand and hand with the coaches to provide a league that serves as tremendous platform that helps propel the players to the next step in their respective careers. Look no further for proof than league's NCAA Commitment total which surpassed 1700 in the middle of the 2023-24 season.
