BEDFORD, MA -- The East Coast Wizards are back home, and preparing for a home-and-home series with the Seacoast Spartans. The Wizards will enter the front end of that two-game set with a record of 5-7-0 for the season. It's been an up and down start to the year for the Wizards, and it was truly proven this past week, as the team followed a loss-win-loss-win pattern in the four games that they played.

"This past week is really our season so far in a nutshell," said Wizards head coach and general manager Freddy Meyer. "Every year has many ups and downs that you grow from as a team, and this year's group is doing the same. We just need to make sure we are continuing to improve each and every day, and then the victories will start to pile up."

Meyer is big on taking things one step at a time, and all he wants his team to focus on right now is what's in front of them, and that's two games with the Spartans. Forget the past, as well as what lies ahead, and just focus on the two games standing between his team and the All-Star Break.

"We've had a few injuries that've impacted our lineup so far this year, and that's why next week's break really falls at the perfect time for our group," added Meyer. "Now our goal should simply be to enter that break with momentum on our side."

It's a busy time in the EHL right now, so be sure to stay tuned as the league gets set to announce the roster for the 2019 All-Star Team.

BEDFORD, MA – After beginning the season with three straight losses, the East Coast Wizards turned things around with three straight wins, which was good for a record of 3-3-0 in the month of September. While the up and down start was rather frustrating at the time, Freddy Meyer believes his team learned from how hard they had to work in order to earn that first victory.

“I think because it took us as long as we did, it made the guys work just that much harder," said EHL head coach and general manager Freddy Meyer. "Of course, we would have loved to finish September with a perfect 6-0-0 record, but Kory [Falite] and I truly see value in the games that we lost. Our team learned quickly, just how important it is to play for all 60 minutes in this league.”

Looking back on the games that took place, and you’ll see that two of the defeats were by a single goal. Therefore, the team and its core group of leaders, knew what they had to do in order to get on the other side of these tight contests.

Coming up in October, the Wizards will hit the ice for 10 total games, four of which will be taking place in the friendly confines of The Edge Sports Center.

“This will be a good test for us,” added Meyer. “None of the matchups are easy, and we get a chance to take our first overnight trip as a team down to Philadelphia. I’m looking forward to seeing how this group grows closer over the next month.”

Outside of the Columbus Day Showcase (October 13th and 14th), the other key dates to circle on the calendar this month are the 24th through the 26th, as Team EHL gets set to take on Fitchburg State, Salem State, and UMass Boston.
