Elias Weiland '19 Recruiting Profile

I have signed to play for a second season with The Charleston Colonials and then hope to attend college.  My first year of Juniors hockey was a very good experience, and I look forward to further strengthening my skills in the upcoming season.  Academically, I think I will be most interested in business, civics, possibly criminal justice/ forensics. 

In hockey, I am a right handed forward and play at right or left wing.  Since 2011, I have been a travel hockey player in the Charlotte, NC program and wore the A on my jersey as a Pee Wee.  My 14U AA team went to Nationals that year and played against teams from Alaska, Maine and Utah. When I was 15, I played on the 18U A level team .  This experience really helped me grow in terms of physical skills and strategic thinking on the ice. That season, I was the third highest point scorer on the team with 14 goals and 29 assists in 45 games.

In 2017-2018. I attended The Kiski School in Pennsylvania and played Varsity as a sophomore.  I received a Varsity letter and had 2 goals and 10 assists in 19 games.  In July of 2018, I attended the Hamilton Men's Hockey Prospects Camp at Hamilton College in Upstate New York.  I was one of a very few 2001 birth year players and really built on my skills skating with 19-21 year old Juniors level players.  In three games, I had 1 goal and 2 assists.

My parents and I made the decision for me to return to Charlotte for my final year of high school. For the 2018-19 season, I played travel hockey for the Charlotte RUSH 18U AA.  I had 8 goals and 18 assists in 30 games. I also played for the Charlotte Catholic High School Varsity team in the late spring of 2019 and was selected for the All-Stars High School Game.
