MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – The USPHL and the host Metro Jets presented the 2023 USPHL Detroit Showcase Nov. 16-20 at the Jets home rink, Mount Clemens Ice Arena.
The USPHL Premier and USPHL Elite conferences were in action at the showcase, with the Premier featuring 19 teams and the Elite represented by six teams.
For the Premier teams, five of the six Great Lakes Division teams were in action, along with six teams from the Midwest East Division, six Midwest West Division teams, and two additional teams from the Atlantic Division.
At the end of the five days and 50 games, it was nothing but positivity on all accounts.
“First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone involved in the event,” said Jets coach-GM Justin Quenneville. “From staff, our home facility, volunteers, and everyone that had a hand in running the biggest event this year in our league, we appreciate all the hours put in before and during the showcase. Off the ice, our operations were top notch and praised by many. We recorded just over 90 scouts and the product on the ice was great.
“Additionally, it was great to see our Jets record a 12-0 record collectively. Our players and coaches did a great job representing the Jets.”
