THE HISTORY OF WHO WE ARE…
Grinder Hockey LLC originated with the Detroit Spring “GRINDER” tournament of 2012. With the success of the Spring Grinder, we slowly expanded our portfolio of hockey tournaments over the years. Today we offer many fun & exciting tournaments, covering Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit & Grand Rapids MI. We are well known for our large scale AAU hockey tournaments, creative hockey tournament artwork, pucks, Grinder Merchandise, and of course our friendly family customer service.
The NAME, “Grinder Hockey” comes from the hockey terminology of a “Grinder”. The type of teammate who is the team’s hard working blue collar player. A key pillar to every championship team. Of course, many of us here in Hockeytown remember the famous ‘Grind Line’ of the Detroit Red Wings. In addition, Detroit is well known for its hard working blue-collar workforce. And so our name – Grinder Hockey was born.
