CCM Chi-Town Shuffle
Overview
Chi-Town Shuffle is home to the premier AAA spring youth ice hockey tournament featuring Elite AAA and AAA/AA Divisions. Top Spring select teams from the U.S., Canada, and around the world come to compete in Chicago for this world-class event.
Started in 2003, the tournament has been held in the honor of Tim Breslin, a former Chicago Mission coach and professional hockey player who passed away suddenly at the age of 37 from a short bout with cancer. As one of 200x85’s signature series events, the Chi-Town Shuffle attracts the best spring talent from select teams across North America. This event has grown from its modest beginnings to a premier spring event with over 415 teams, always offering the same high level of competition and professional organization that 200x85 brings to their in-season tournaments.

Testimonials
Corey O'Neill
CCM Selects
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for giving Odin the chance to be on your team for the "Chi Town Shuffle". It meant a lot to him, and it meant even more to our family. On a personal note, Odin made some great new friends and spoke positively of your leadership as a coach.
I also wanted to highlight the tournament itself was well run, from the merchandise, to the scheduling and a big one for us was keeping the accommodations within close proximity to the rinks. It was evident how much care and planning went into making everything run seamless.
Sincere thanks for the opportunity and a fantastic tournament experience.

Robbie and I a had a wonderful time playing with and making friends with CCM Selects this past weekend in Chicago. The coaches,  the players and all of the parents were great.  Robbie would like to play again if possible? Do you have any space on the team for the Rochester event?  Thanks again and talk soon.

I wanted to reach out and extend a thank you from Matthew Krouch and his family for the opportunity to represent the CCM Selects Orange team this weekend. The competition level was fantastic, the coach and rink staff were wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you for all the hard work that gets put into making these events a success, we look forward to attending events again in the future.

I would like to thank all of you and your colleagues who prepared the CCM 2026 Chi-Town Shuffle tournament. The tournament was beautifully and wonderfully prepared and you were also willing to arrange friendly matches before the tournament and help us with accommodation, etc.
We really enjoyed the tournament and are glad that we were able to participate.
It's a shame that I didn't get to meet you in person.
Thank you again for a wonderful experience in Chicago.

Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic experience this past weekend with the Chi Town Shuffle. Lane could not have had more fun with the 2017 team meeting kids from all over the country, playing really competitive hockey and taking in the events on Thursday night. Our family walked away really impressed with the 200x85 organization and the tournament as a whole. I also really appreciated the coaching Lane received by you and the other coaches throughout the weekend and cannot thank you enough for putting in that type of effort.
We are looking forward to the Nashville Country Jam in a few weeks and to participating in more events in the future.
Thanks again for putting on a great event and look forward to seeing you again soon!

On behalf of 09 Dynamo Elite, thank you so very much for the wonderful tournament weekend!!!
I can only imagine how much hard work and dedication goes into planning and running a competitive event like the Chi-Town Shuffle.
Everyone has been so helpful along the way and throughout the weekend.
We really appreciate the opportunity.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the assistance you gave me getting setup and registered for the Chi-Town Shuffle. We made it to the playoff round in the U15S division and lost to Wilmette 6-5 in overtime to end our incredible experience here in Chicago. We played at Rocket Ice and had great games and more importantly met some fine people from Chicago and area. The welcome we received made us all feel as if we were at home in our tiny communities in Northern Ontario. On behalf of our players, coaches, parents (and grandparents), I would like to say thanks for everything. This was an experience our kids will not forget. To top it all off, we got to see the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field, an item on my bucket list.
We leave with our hearts 💕 full and look forward to coming back again.

Chi-Town Shuffle was a really great experience for my son. Very well organized and it was meaningful to play teams from California and Colorado in the 2009 Ribcore bracket. Having a team from Korea in the tournament was also pretty cool.

Though our team didn’t get the outcome we had hoped for, the weekend’s events were highly enjoyable. The games themselves were run very well with no delayed start times and scheduled at times that allowed for some family bonding activities. Our organization looks forward to participating in future CCM/200X85 events.

You guys seriously ran a phenomenal tourney. Not a single speed bump or bad thing to say. Well worth it! Can’t wait to do it again!
