Checking in from the 2025 USA Hockey Sled Player Development Camp in Columbus, Ohio! 🇺🇸 60 athletes hit the ice this week for training, development and evaluation ahead of 2025–26 season!

Was really fun getting to chat with #CBJ sixth-round pick Victor Hedin Raftheim a little bit this summer. He's big, he's athletic and he could be an interesting player to follow in the coming seasons. cbj.co/raftheim-tw-07…

A couple #CBJ reads from the week: Owen Griffin led the OHL in playoff goals with @Oshawa_Generals this past season but lasted until the fifth round. The Jackets may have gotten a steal. "Unbelievable player, even better human being." cbj.co/griffin-tw-071…
