EHL Revolution to Host Little Flyers and Rockets This Weekend at The Rink

WARMINSTER, PA - The Eastern Hockey League Philadelphia Revolution (9-14-1-0) will host the Philadelphia Little Flyers (13-6-2-1) tonight at 7:00 PM and the New Jersey Rockets (15-10-2-0) tomorrow at 11:00 AM at The Rink at Warwick.

Both games will be streamed online at FastHockey.com.

The Revolution enter this weekend winning six of their last 10 games.  Their previous game was back on December 8th, a 5-2 win against the New York Applecore.

"Everyone did their job to contribute to the win," said EHL Head Coach James Laux.  "The scorers scored, goaltender [Hunter] Tetreault made the saves we needed, and the penalty kill stepped up.  We made it difficult for them to play against us, and we need to continue this style of play this weekend." 
    
The Little Flyers come into tonight's game winning nine of their last 13 games.  The last time the Revolution and Little Flyers met was back on October 23rd, a 6-1 Little Flyers victory in Aston, Pennsylvania.    

"The best way to compete with the Little Flyers is to make better decisions with the puck in our defensive zone and increase back pressure through the offensive zone," said Coach Laux.  "We cannot let them score the easy goals."

The last time the Revolution and Rockets shared the ice was back on November 3rd at The Rink, a 4-2 Revolution victory.  Since then, the Rockets have gone 5-3-2-0 in their last ten games.  

"We match up well against each other," said Coach Laux.  "I am expecting a really well-played and close game between both teams."

Before the Rockets come to Warminster, they will be playing against the Philadelphia Junior Flyers in West Chester, Pennsylvania tonight at 8:30 PM.

Earlier this week, the EHL recognized forward Riley Egan and defenseman Ryan O'Malley as members of the league's Midseason Second Team All-Stars.  

"This is a well-deserved honor," said Coach Laux.  "I am extremely proud of both of them and what they have done for us this season."
