Woodridge, IL — 200×85 has announced the promotion of Justin Lewandowski to President, recognizing more than a decade of leadership and impact within the organization during a period of unprecedented growth.

Lewandowski first joined 200×85 in 2013, when the company hosted fewer than 10 events annually. Since then, he has helped shape the organization’s expansion into one of the leading providers of youth hockey tournaments and development programming. Today, 200×85 offers nearly 50 tournaments and more than 40 summer development camps each year, in addition to overseeing a growing portfolio of hockey brands and initiatives including Premier Ice Prospects, Heartland Hockey Academy, and the Klevr Super League.

As President, Lewandowski will oversee all team members and operational aspects of 200×85’s tournaments and player development programs. His responsibilities include team recruitment, event scheduling, operations, and rink relations for the organization’s tournaments, as well as staffing, player recruitment, program schedules, coaching, and management across all development initiatives. Lewandowski has also been instrumental in several of the company’s premier programs, including the CCM 68 Combine, CCM Chicago Brick, and the CCM Selects. 

In 2018, Lewandowski was promoted to Vice President of Hockey Operations, where he oversaw the continued growth of 200×85’s tournament, showcase, selects, and development offerings. His promotion to President reflects both his impact on the organization and the leadership he has demonstrated throughout his tenure.

“I couldn’t be happier to have been part of 200×85 for all these years,” said Lewandowski. “From the early days to where we are now, it has been incredible to watch the company grow while continuing to provide programming that enhances the youth hockey experience for players and families all around the world. I’m excited for what lies ahead and grateful to work alongside such a passionate team that is dedicated to growing the game.”

Kevin Mann, Founder & CEO of 200×85, praised Lewandowski’s contributions and the leadership he has developed during his time with the company.

“Since Justin joined our team, we’ve grown tremendously, and Justin has been a major part of that journey,” said Mann. “I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow alongside the company—developing into a leader who approaches every opportunity with professionalism, passion, and a genuine commitment to the players and families we serve. His promotion to President is incredibly well deserved, and I’m excited to see the continued impact he will have on the future of 200×85.”

With Lewandowski stepping into the role of President, 200×85 is poised to continue building on its momentum while delivering elite tournaments, innovative development programs, and global hockey experiences for the next generation of players.
