Elite Edge Hockey Showcase wraps up Wednesday

If the anticipation of Wednesday night’s game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals has rendered you useless at work, head down to A-Game Sportsplex in Cool Springs Wednesday morning between 8 am – 1 pm to watch the Elite Edge Hockey Showcase wrap up.

The showcase, run by Predators Manager of Hockey Operations Brandon Walker, is now in its 7th year. Wednesday will highlight camp games and awards will be handed out.

There are two programs, one for Juniors, players between the ages of 16-19 who are thinking about trying out for junior or making college selections. The other program consists of Development for skaters between the ages of 14-15. The younger players will be educated on creating the right path for them in hockey as well as learning the differences between AAA and Junior programs.

There are 220 players from 27 different states at this summer’s event. Former Predator Jim McKenzie is coaching the camp and NBC/Versus analysis Darren Eliot is coaching the goaltenders.

College teams and several OHL teams have representatives in attendance.

The event is open to the public.
