In four professional seasons Eric has played for Chesapeake and South Carolina in the ECHL, Macon and Fayetteville in the CHL, and New Haven in the UHL. In 175 regular season games, he scored 21 goals and added 39 assists while recording only 97 penalty minutes. In 13 career playoff games, he has 4 assists and only 4 penalty minutes.

In his senior year, he was named a Division III, second team All-American. "Eric hasn’t played in a while because he's been coaching, but he got the itch to play again and is very anxious to get back in pro hockey," General Manager of Hockey Operations Brendan Tedstone said. "He's a defenseman that puts D first and stays out of the box. He will bring leadership and experience to the team." "He brings a tremendous amount of experience to this team, and with his coaching experience he brings a tremendous amount of leadership as well," Mad Hatters Head Coach Dave MacIsaac said of Eric. The Mad Hatters are scheduled to play 50 games this year and will open their inaugural season on November 1 at 7:30 pm at the Danbury Ice Arena against the Rome/Copper City Chiefs.
