About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of USA Hockey's new Development League on Michigan youth hockey and reviews the 2026 CCM NIt.

Earlier this year, USA Hockey announced the launch of its 32-team Development League set to begin in '27-28. I take a look at what it could mean for Michigan youth hockey specifically, and the trickle down effect it may have on our AAA teams as well as high school hockey. Plus, we recap action from the 2026 CCM NIt and highlight standouts from Team Michigan's three squads.Want more from the pod? Check out https://peteyspicks.com/
