Champions Crowned in Utica

Utica, NY – That was awesome!

Congratulations to all of the young athletes who put on a show for us to enjoy in Utica, New York, just a few weeks ago! We hope you all took home lasting memories and enjoyed your experience at the beautiful Nexus Center.

Thank you to all of the athletes and families for making the trip and dedicating your time to support the Future Stars Program. Players, we do this for you, to give you an opportunity to shine and to show you just how special you all are.

Thank you to our General Managers and Coaches. If it weren’t for your devotion to the players, none of this would be possible. From budgeting and creating travel plans to running practices and setting your teams up for a successful trip to Utica, we appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you to our officials, led by Michael Wahbi, USABH Director of Officials. This experienced crew traveled from across the country, representing Buffalo, New York; South Jersey; New England; Western Pennsylvania; and California.

Thank you to our incredible media team: EJ Dwyer, Matt Streibich, Jackie Pochadt, Alex Delzatto, Katherine Salce, and Isabella Bigler. You continue to impress us every day. The game looks even better through your artistic talents and creativity. We also have to give huge hugs to each team’s individual media crew. You all crushed the coverage and helped put the spotlight on these Future Stars!

Thank you to our amazing Equipment Staff and Medical Team: Jenna Gray, Austin Seddon, Jason Seddon, and BJ Throop. You went above and beyond throughout the event to keep our players organized, prepared, and healthy.

Thank you to our sponsors and partners for your donations, your time, and, most importantly, for believing in what we are building. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of Knapper / Knapper USA, 2n10 Custom Apparel, Shirey Stats and Standings, Cool Hockey Events, the NBHL, and the NSBHL.

Special love and appreciation goes out to Program Director Scott Tarzy, Assistant Directors Bob Kibler and Jason Kelly, Women’s Development Director Liz Crouthamel, and the dozens of volunteers who helped sell merchandise, complete registration, stream games across our YouTube platforms, and handle so many other responsibilities behind the scenes.

It takes an incredible number of people working together to create an experience like this, and we are grateful to every person who played a part.
