Today, Mads got an added bonus: the Capitals’ ECHL affiliate, the South Carolina Stingrays, signed him to a contract for the upcoming season.
The younger Eller said he was just “looking for the right opportunity” as he resumed summer skating. Then his agent approached the Capitals, “and the opportunity with South Carolina came up,” he said. “I was thrilled. I’ve heard many great things about the organization and the city. It’s one of, if not the best, place to play in the ECHL, so I’m very excited.”
Eller comes to the Lowcountry after splitting last season with the Adirondack Thunder and the Ontario Hockey League’s Windsor Spitfires.
