Timmy Kent, Cole Kodsi, Mark Cheremeta, and Justin Kapelmaster join us to discuss the powerhouse 3v3 summer hockey league we've created here in South Florida. The league is made up of 5 teams consisting of top NHL, AHL, ECHL, D1, CHL, and jr.A players. With 56 regular season games plus playoffs it is a grueling season that brings the absolute best out of every player and makes for an electric atmosphere on an 80 foot sheet of ice. 

Our goal is simple: get the best players in South Florida competing against each other day in and day out in order to better prepare ourselves for the "real" season while having some fun and growing the game.

Huge thanks to the boys for coming on and discussing the league, we are doing something very special down here in South Florida and we are extremely grateful to be a part of it.
