LEE COUNTY, Fla. — A future NHL player could very well be found in southwest Florida.

More than 200 student-athletes trained in a hockey showcase at the Hertz Arena this weekend.

It is an opportunity for student-athletes to train and practice and try and get noticed in the sport.

At least 10 players from southwest Florida tried to catch the eye of various division coaches.

The event coordinators say this event can give these players an advantage when it comes to college scouts.
