200×85 hosted the final CCM 68 Futures combine of the 2022 season for the 2009 birth year this past weekend in Michigan. Two teams of Girls (Gray and Red) and 4 teams of Boys (Black, White, Gold, and Green) met in Novi to compete with and against each other for the weekend.

The on-ice training sessions for the Girls both days were led by Shawn Skelly (Adrian College-Girls Head Hockey Coach) and Hayley WIlliams (KMH Budapest and Hungarian National Team player).

 

The Boys on-ice training sessions were led on Friday by Kevin Gibson (Detroit Red Wings Amateur Scout) and on Saturday by Kevin Darnell (USA Hockey NTDP Assistant Director of Player Personnel).

 

The off-ice training sessions that players had on Friday and Saturday were run by Colin Smith (Detroit Edge Hockey, University Liggett Head Coach) and focused on body weight exercises, speed, explosiveness, balance, and proprioception.

 

In addition to being allowed to try out the newest CCM skate models and the newest CCM stick models during the practice and game sessions, the Girls had an open hour of ice on Friday to strictly demo the equipment and the Boys had their hour on Saturday!

 

Our college hockey recruiting partner, Next College Student Athlete (NCSA), hosted seminars on Saturday for all players to learn the process of becoming a collegiate hockey player and what it takes to succeed on the ice and in the classroom.
