THE #ESHOW

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.

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.

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.
