We both had a fantastic time and Charlie learned a lot from the experience of playing with Coach Couch, “the boys” as he calls them, and the international play. Sasha, I imagine that you and your team put so much time and effort into making this a great experience for everyone and it shows. Coach, I know it can be hard to take a group of players who have never met and have them play together as a team. What fun it was! The night before we left, Charlie teared up in the room, telling me he needed just a bit more time and a few more games with the team. This speaks to the work behind the scenes you both did.
Thank you. It is an experience neither one of us will forget."

We have been blessed to attend for a few years now and it remains one of our favorite weekends of the season.
A special thanks for inviting us to be a part of the fantastic opening night event. What a treat for the team to be involved on a fun and special night.
Your team does a fabulous job of providing the players a great experience. I wish I could extend a thanks and handshake to the whole group, and the countless volunteers, but please let them know we are grateful for the work they put in to make the weekend a success.
The referees we had should be commended as well. They were great all weekend, but a big shout out to the crews we had for each game on Sunday. They were fabulous, not only how they called the game and kept the players safe, but also how personable they were to the players and coaches. They all should be commended.
Once again, thanks for running another great event. I know there are many to thank, but it starts with the great leadership you provide to make it all run so smoothly. We appreciate all your time and efforts

This was my second year in a row going overseas with you (I took my 2007 to Bratislava) and can honestly say that they were 2 of the best experiences I have ever had.
I also want to commend Mark and Linda for all of their planning and then execution while we were there. The tournament schedule seemed to be a bit fluid each day and the bus still managed to get us to and from the rink on time, and meals were still always ready for us when we returned to the hotel.
Overall, I simply wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for my boys (Bradley and Camden) over the years. Mark Roy and Jon Sutton have been amazing to play for and my boys have had the best experiences.

"My daughter Maize participated in this weekend’s camp at Mount Prospect. It was awesome. You and your team put on a first class event. The games were fun to watch, and Maize loved the meetings with the mental game coach and nutritionist.
I think one of the best things about the whole weekend was having all the kids and parents in one hotel. The kids were all well-behaved and had a great time getting to know each other. These kids don’t get a ton of chances to just be kids and just hang out, so much time is spent practicing, going to bed early for skates or games. When I looked around, I just saw excited faces and smiles. Maizey loved every moment, and we are grateful she had the chance to participate. Thank you."

Kudos! Thanks for putting on a great show!

"Thank you for an awesome weekend. While it was the first for the girls, I thought it was run very well and a wonderful experience for both the boys and girls. I can tell you that my daughter Emma had a blast, met some new buddies, and enjoyed the coaching staff. Thanks again 200x85, we appreciate the opportunity."

" It seemed that every detail was considered, and well executed. Our daughter had a phenomenal time and as you aptly noted, her take away was that this was a microcosm of exceptional PEOPLE - athletes, students, teammates, coaches, families; everyone she met exemplified what we all hope for our kids to be and to surround themselves with.

"Our son played with the Selects 2000s. Not only did he love the competitive atmosphere of the tournaments he played in, but he developed life-long friendships from all parts of the country that he may not have had the chance to meet, let alone play alongside. It is amazing when we watch NCAA hockey games on TV now how many of the players we actually know. "

"Kids enjoyed the camp and our 2010 had his best tryout yet immediately following the camp, in part due to confident checking… he plays at low AA level but stood out among kids he’s been playing with in tryout and is carrying a lot of confidence going into spring.
Younger two were telling stories at dinner table of applying contact skills in skates they had this week so all found the clinics valuable!
Looking forward to Notre Dame! "

"I find it amazing that all of these young kids got an opportunity to play together and form bonds that have lasted so long. Even as a parent I find myself keeping tabs on what these players are doing, and the level of success that they have realized is incredible. Seeing this continue into the college game is quite amazing."

"It starts with a great organizing effort by all involved. From the banquet on Thursday, to our last game on Sunday, everything was run in a first class manner. Our son, Sam, had a great and challenging weekend. While not a kid of many words, he talked more about this weekend/experience to us on the ride home, than he ever has in the past. "

"It is extremely important we convey to you our gratitude for selecting our daughter, Abby, to participate in CCM 68. In short, she described it as a phenomenal experience Her words were “the most important thing I can learn at STX is what I need to work on to be the best”. Again, thank you for the opportunity you provided our daughter!"

" The CCM Select program is very unique; there is an emphasis on playing the game the proper way (quick puck movement, responsibility in all 3 zones, consistent focus and intensity) that teaches skills absolutely necessary at the higher levels, regardless of a player's skill level."

"This was the best tournament we've ever attended. We got to play and watch the best teams in the US, the venue (Nicholas Sportsplex) was spectacular, and our hotel was A+ (and very reasonable). Not to mention the refs allowed these highly skilled athletes to play. Really enjoyed it, thanks!"

"Good morning Mike. I wanted to share this with you and the entire group. My boys and I just got back late last night to Carolina from the Notre Dame weekend. We have done a fair number of camps, training, etc. over the past six or seven years as my older boy is a 2009, and my younger boy is a 2013. This was the single best camp we have ever attended. The coaches were absolutely fantastic. Engaged, talking to the kids, teaching on the ice or in the bench.
I am a physician for the department of Veterans Affairs. And this group was as dedicated and passionate a group as I have seen.
I wish I remembered everyone’s name, but I do recall Coach Mark, Justin, and a few others that we talked to after were just incredible. They spent a lot of time during games teaching nuanced points after a play to the boys I wanted to give you and the team a little bit of feedback. Too often in this world, all we hear is the negative but sometimes we need to hear the positive too. And I think you all knocked it out of the park this weekend. All of us had a wonderful time. Thank you again so much!
We would love to stay engaged with the program."

"I just wanted to extend a very huge, “thank you” for having my daughter, Keara Parker (team white) at the STX combine. She had a fantastic time playing at a high level and meeting new players and coaches from across North America. Thank you again for all of your efforts and for providing her with this opportunity. Enjoy the rest of your summer."

"Thanks so much for day1! Our boys left Florida as pee-wees and started as Bantams in Louisville. Taking this clinic would have been great before bantam level. Ethan got a concussion his second to last game of the season. The other player got a major and ejected but... it could have been avoided with better positioning. Our boys found this clinic very helpful and are excited for day two!"
