Griffin Streeter was a legend last Fall in the Velocity 3 v 3...he will wear a Maroon sweater this week.

As players complete their first four years of competitive youth hockey, the end of PeeWees and the beginning of Bantams is a very important time of development. Two years ago, five players were chosen Wiz Wyatt Player of the Year Finalists: Grant Slukynsky (Warroad, Winner), Bobby Brink (Chaska), Zach Michaelis (Elk River), Kyle Heffron (Rosemount), and Tyler Oakland (Maple Grove).

This past year five new players were selected as finalists. This means two things. One, there are a lot of great players in Minnesota and on any given day there are 30-40 great choices for these awards. The other is, each of these ten players all had exceptional seasons...all ten had more than 50 point seasons. Bobby Brink had six goals in one period and lead his team to state. Grant Slukynsky was a key reason the Warriors went to the state final, he is a remarkable player. 


Jefferson's Grayson Hight, a Wiz Wyatt Finalist in 2015 will be flying into the Combine this week.

As these great players head into their Bantam years, YHH wants to be there to measure their path to the next level of development. This week, YHH in partnership with Grant Potulny and his University of Minnesota players and the staff at the Lumberyard in Stillwater will host its first ever combine. The combine will be part education, training/testing and a lot of fun and games. 

During the first part of the week, the players will be stationed at the U where they will train, learn and play games. During the second part of the week, they will be tested and play in a 3 v 3 tournament. YHH will be there to evaluate the players on their progress and performance all five days.
