A LOOK AT UNLV REBELS STAR DEFENSEMAN ERIC WILLIAMS

By Bethany Drysdale

Las Vegas local Eric Williams is on pace for a career high season for UNLV this year. The 6 foot, 205 pound defenseman has played in 19 games this year for the Rebels, scoring 4 goals, with 8 assists. After wrapping up a four game road trip to Arizona, Williams sat down with me to talk about his hockey career. Learning to skate at age 6, he loved to be out on the ice and chose hockey over baseball early on in his development. Eric is a sophomore, undeclared major at UNLV, with aspirations of being a commercial airline pilot. The skill and dedication it takes to become a pilot is well within Eric’s reach, just as he shows his dedication to hockey.

The team is connecting at the right time and making the best of the opportunities coming into 2019. Eric is a key player, helping the Rebels to jump to #8 this week after their successful road trip. Scoring a goal and contributing 2 assists, I asked Eric what kept them going playing four games in five days. He said, “Everyone, stepped up to contribute. When someone got down, another guy would make a play and kept the team focused. There isn’t just 1 big playmaker on the team; it is a collective effort when we win games.” Watching the games, it was easy to see how well the guys get along.

Being a local, I asked Eric what he thought about the growing hockey community in Las Vegas. He said, “It’s great to see the kids out there learning to skate. Hockey in Las Vegas has always been a tight knit group, and the Golden Knights brought more attention to our sport. The UNLV games pack City National and it’s humbling to see the support we get at home games.”

When asked what team or line has been his favorite during his career, Eric was quick to say he feels bonded to this year’s UNLV team.

“We have a goal in mind each time we get out on the ice. We want to grow the program to the next level. Everyone understands that each game builds a positive foundation for the future.” Playing against ranked ACHA Division 1 teams is what brings out the best in Eric and the Rebel team. To be the best, you have to play the best. Minot State, University of Arizona, and Arizona State will almost certainly be part of the championship tournament.

When asked what player or coach influenced his game the most, Eric said, “Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Sakic.” Joe’s rapid snap-shot release is legendary and one big reason why he twice scored 50 goals in a season. For young kids, emulating their favorite players is often behind the drive and motivation to keep getting better. I asked Eric if he realized the example he was setting for the kids of Las Vegas who watch him play now. He said, “I love that kids in Vegas can have hometown players that they can look up to. Guys like Zucker and Quinney are great to watch.” I reminded him that for my two boys, he is one of those hometown heroes.

NARCh Update!

108 teams will be participating in our Irvine Regional Qualifier that starts on Thursday.   In most divisions, there are as many or more out of town teams as there are Southern California Teams.  Cayman Islands, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and many programs from Northern California make up 50% of the teams in the tournament.

 

Screen Shot 2019-04-15 at 2.58.28 PM.png

 

A few teams have contacted us recently struggling to field a team on Friday.  We sent many notices to not sign up for this tournament if your team cannot compete on Friday!  Irvine always has games on Friday due to the size of the event.  If a team has to forfeit a game they will be forfeited out of the playoffs.  To be frank, we’re not going to allow a team to negatively impact a whole division with a forfeit and still compete in the playoffs.  We certainly hope it doesn’t come to that in any division and are looking forward to an amazing tournament!

 

Next weekend we’re off to Georgia for the SGAA Tournament.  If you have a team that wants to participate, you have 24 hours remaining to get registered!

If you are planning to play in either NARCh FINALS and haven’t booked your hotel rooms, we suggest you do so ASAP!  There are some great options and availability, but they won’t last.  2019 Finals Info

 

We hope your Monday Morning has started off well and you have a great week!
