Mount Clemens — The idea was hatched 10 years ago by Steven Oleksy.
Oleksy, from Chesterfield Township, is a pro hockey player who has won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh and is currently in the Anaheim Ducks’ organization.
Oleksy wanted to stay sharp and in game shape in the offseason.
“The college guys, pro guys, they can’t just go back and play in a regular senior league,” Oleksy said. “So what do you do to stay in game shape?”
Oleksy, 32, believes southeast Michigan has some of the best hockey talent anywhere in North America.
