CCM 68 Future ID Camps: A Year of Growth and a Look to the Future
The CCM 68 Futures program has become a cornerstone in youth hockey development, offering young players an opportunity to refine their skills, gain exposure, and position themselves to earn an invitation to the CCM 68 Combine. The 2024 season marked a significant milestone for the program with the introduction of the first-ever camp in Canada, and as we reflect on this achievement, we eagerly anticipate the 2025 CCM 68 Futures ID Camps.
Â
This summer, the program expanded into Niagara, Ontario, bringing the CCM 68 Futures experience to Canadian players for the first time. This expansion underscored the program’s dedication to nurturing talent across borders, recognizing the potential of young athletes from all over North America. The identification of talent is a core objective of the CCM 68 Futures ID Camps. This year, 23 standout players—16 boys and 7 girls—received early spots in the next year’s CCM 68 Combine, showcasing the program’s role as a critical pathway for promising young athletes.Â
