"This event is going to be special," said Chris Collins. "We are bringing in some of the top talent from both the US and Canada, and we can't wait to get things started."
Chris and Greg are the founders of the Rochester Selects and Evolve Hockey programs, as their organization (Selects) has been a part of the BEAST league since its inception.
Looking ahead to this weekend's event, and simply put, the northeast has never seen this caliber of teams come together for a weekend of hockey on US soil during a minor midget OHL/USHL draft year. This event will feature some of the biggest names in US and Canadian hockey at this age group. Those in attendance will be watching the future of hockey right in upstate New York.
