PHOTOS: 2018 Eastside Elite All-Star Classic

On July 26, some of the best names in Michigan’s hockey community showed up at Mount Clemens Ice Arena for the 2018 Eastside Elite All-Star Classic. Designed to support four causes – ALS awareness, autism awareness, concussion prevention and the Special Olympics – Team Larionov, Team Chelios, Team Samsonov and Team Bertuzzi squared off in a series of condensed contests to decide this year’s champion. Team Bertuzzi (concussions), which featured the likes of Todd Bertuzzi, Tag Bertuzzi, Dylan Larkin and Eastside Elite founder Steven Oleksy, prevailed in the championship game; the younger Bertuzzi was named ASG MVP in the victory. Stay tuned for more coverage from Mount Clemens. (Photos by Michael Caples/MiHockey)
