2022 Great Falls Americans Summer Program
Great Falls Americans: Capstone Hockey Invitational
When: Friday, July 29 through Sunday, July 31, 2022
1 Practice: Thursday, July 28, 2022
Location: Edina, Minnesota
4 Games Guaranteed
During the offseason, the Great Falls Americans will be participating in the 2022 Capstone Invitational. The goal of the summer program will give potential prospects the opportunity to skate with the current Great Falls Americans squad and get to know the staff.
Capstone Hockey puts on these events and many junior and college coaches recruit heavily at both events including the United States Hockey League (USHL), North American Hockey League (NAHL), NCAA Division I and NCAA Division III.
The event takes place at the Braemer Ice Arena in Edina, Minnesota.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Great Falls Americans Head Coach Greg Sears (Phone: 715-566-2811) to register by email at gsears@gfamericans.com or Assistant Coach Matthew Maniglia (Phone: 908-230-1223) to register by email at mmaniglia30@gmail.com
