Eels Premier Head Coach Frankie Scarpaci comments
“Zac is a hard working forward, who is always first in on the fore-check and back check. Zac scores hard working goals and assists consistently. He blocks shots on the penalty kill. A hulking power forward at 6’2”, Zac truly is a force on the ice. He holds such a heavy shot, goalies tend to think they have the angle on him, but it powers its way into the back of the net. Has great two-way reads, both offensively and defensively. Has a real active stick defensively that allows him to strip the puck from opponents. The other teams nightmare when he has it because he can score in so many ways. An absolute beast on the puck, nearly impossible to knock him off it.”

General Manager Scarpaci noticed while scouting Boyle 4 years ago he immediately noticed, Zac was a high-energy player who loved the high tempo game even at that young age. He developed very well under our system. He drives to the net, has a good hard accurate shot. Boyle is known for winning those loose puck battles along the boards and in front of the net. In talking with College coaches, they echoed they love his two-way play, as he is ever mindful of his defensive zone responsibilities. College Scouts always commented on his high competes level.
Coach Scarpaci concludes…. Boyle has the insatiable appetite to win and that is the way Eels’ play. He is an impact player and will make his mark at Neumann University.

Boyle had a plethora of interest from about a dozen NCAA men’s Division 3 schools. In fact we had six solid commitment offers from coaches. But Boyle loved everything about Neumann University. He said the feel was right. He could see himself attending Neumann is extremely excited about playing for head coach Matt Tendler. .

Zac commented that he looks forward to playing in the ECAC West conference. He feels it is very competitive. He is very excited to be able to compete against Hobart Utica Manhattanville Nazareth Elmira and other top schools. He will miss it here in Florida but he has worked so hard over the last four years to make it to college and is so excited that his dreams are finally being realized.

Zac is a true leader on and off the ice as evidenced by him being selected team as assistant captain this season. This is a very character young man with unwavering integrity. He comes from a very supportive family who have made enormous sacrifices for Zac to reach and realize his dreams and goals of playing college hockey.
