Illinois Hockey shows every year that it's top team can be a National Championship contender. In order to make it to nationals, you must be Blackhawk Cup champions come next spring.

Off and....Skating!

Summer is officially in full swing. This week begins the regular season for two of the largest summer leagues in Illinois Hockey. My Adult Hockey League summer session fires up as well as the regular season to my 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 Youth Ice Hockey Leagues. This year is the busiest that we have ever been at CCH Xtreme. We have just shy of 100 Youth Ice Hockey teams and a healthy couple dozen Adult Ice Hockey teams. Life without the NHL on TV can be tough, but there is always some good hockey around the corner if you need your fix. Speaking of the NHL, the awards ceremony is tonight in Vegas, that would be a fun trip.

If you did not find yourself in one of our Summer Hockey Leagues, not to worry! There are numerous Youth Hockey Camps hosted by CCH Xtreme. Check out the website at chelioshockey.com for details on the many Hockey Summer Camps held by us at a variety of locations. Remember, you will only get out of this summer, what you put into it. Try-outs are just around the corner, make sure you make the team you set out for this fall. Private Hockey Lessons are available all summer and are taught by myself, as well as my trained instructors, that have carried their hockey careers on past the youth level. I hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having. Don't forget to do some daily exercises to keep your game at its peak through the summer. I hope all is well, and I'll see you around the rink!

Yours in Hockey,

Coach Cheli
