We are very proud of our team; we want to shine a light on this year's graduating seniors!!

Our first senior spotlight from the 2025-2026 season is #33 Patrick Croft "Crofty" 

"Hi I'm Patrick Croft, and I played on EHC for my senior year. I really enjoyed playing with the team, it was less of a team and more of a family. I had a blast being a part of this team. There was a lot of events we did off ice such as team dinners, and holiday parties. I enjoyed being able to joke around and have fun while still being a competitive team with an entire group of guys that would back me up on anything. Through playing with EHC I was given the opportunity to play college club hockey. I am committed to Elmira College for environmental science, and I will be continuing my career in both soccer and club hockey.  I am so grateful for the experiences I got to share with all of my teammates and coaches. These are the guys that I will be friends with for life, and it wouldn't be possible without EHC."

Second spotlight goes to #88 Carter Green " Greener"! 

Carter began his hockey journey following in his brothers footsteps. He started as a goalie at age 3 and realized he wanted to score goals and that he did. He took on #52 after his favorite player and scored countless goals, countless championships and a reputation that far preceded himself. Then his older brother graduated and the decision to play high-school became his and when he finally decided to play the next choice was do I keep 52 or do I carry on the legacy of 88! He chose 88 and the road was not always easy but he persevered and wore that number with pride. 88 is a family number and the Green boys have worn it with strength and determination. When you put on that jersey you are not just representing your team you are representing yourself and your family. My greatest joy has been playing hockey with the boys, and after graduation when I hang up my skates to enter the work force I will remember these moments.

Next up.. #11 Seamus Lynch!

Hi, I'm Seamus Lynch, and I was a 3 year member of the Elmira Hockey Club. I started playing hockey at the age of 7 and have had a love for the game ever since. I started my career playing for the Elmira Jr Jackals and I've played for many teams along the way, including Corning Hurricanes, Central Outlaws, Wranglers, Elmira Aviators, and playing for Northgrid this summer.  Playing for EHC for the last 3 years has been the best years of hockey I've ever played. I've made so many new friends and made memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. My favorite memory is winning the championship game my junior year. I want to thank both of my coaches, Billy and Coach Farr for their guidance and making me a better player day in and day out, and for always showing up for the team with all the confidence in us. It was truly an honor to be a part of such an amazing program. 

#8 Aiden Kiser "Cappie"

Aiden has been on the EHC as a forward for the last 3 years, and captain for the last 2! He has been playing hockey since the age of 7, and has played for the Corning Hurricanes, EC Ice Wings, and Elmira Junior Aviators. Aiden is graduating from Horseheads High School where he is involved in lacrosse and is a member of the National Honor Society. His most memorable moment in high school hockey was winning the 2024-2025 Broome Championship Cup for the first time. Aiden's future plans after graduation include attending Corning Community College and then transferring to earn a degree in Mechanical engineering. 

#24 Owen Amey

Owen joined EHC this last season and became a valuable part of the team's defensive core. Owen has been playing hockey for the past 8 years, playing for the Corning Hurricanes, EC Ice Wings, and most recently Elmira Junior Aviators. Throughout the time on the ice, he has demonstrated his commitment to improving his game and supporting his teammates. Owen is graduating from Horseheads High School where he earns recognition on the Honor Roll. He has many outside of hockey hobbies such as airsoft and dirt bike racing. He was also a part of the track team this past spring. Owen is grateful for the opportunity to play for EHC and to learn from his coaches, build lasting friendships with teammates and be part of program that helped him to grow both as a player and a person.  Owen plans to attend SUNY Geneseo majoring in business economics, and hopes to play some club hockey while doing so!

#90 Zach Balland "ZB"

Zach has been a member of EHC for the last 3 seasons and helped to contribute to the team's success throughout his high school career. His hockey journey began as a mini mite at the age of 4 and has gone on to include time spent playing for Elmira Jackals, EC Icewings, and Elmira Jr Aviators. Through years of hard work Zach developed into a strong defenseman and a valued teammate. Zach will graduate from Horseheads High School where he also excelled as a multi-sport athlete participating in both Varsity Golf and Varsity Lacrosse.  His favorite memory from EHC is the one moment that stands above the rest, scoring the overtime game winning goal in the semi finals and helping lead EHC on to the championship victory. It is a memory that will forever be part of EHC's history and he will cherish it for years to come. Zach plans to attend college after high school and continue his academic and personal goals.
