The Path of a Florida Hockey Player- travels through Germain Arena and the Junior Everblades
As the Hockey Director of the Junior Everblades I take great pride when people discuss the level of talent in the state of Florida. But, what many people don't understand is the level of talent that has come directly out of the doors of Germain Arena through theJunior Everblades, Everblades AAA, Florida Alliance AAA, Florida Jr Blades organizations. The talent level is phenomenal and you can see the products scattered throughout Prep School, Junior Hockey, Midget Major AAA,USHL, NAHL, College Hockey and the professional ranks. What you may not realize is that these players aren't just filling rosters on their teams often times they are the best players and making major impacts on their rosters. The other thing that many may not realize is that of the list of 70+ names below these are just the players that have matriculated in the past 5-6 years. So the next time a parent or players makes the quick remark that hockey players don't come from Florida maybe they should do a quick history lesson because the names below not only came out out of Florida, but they developed, trained and came from the same rink you practice, skate, train and compete at weekly. They came from Germain arena and were trained under the banners of Junior Everblades,Everblades AAA, Florida Alliance AAA and Florida Jr Blades.
