Machine ready to hit the Ice Box ice

The Motor City Machine will officially take the ice as a team for training camp on August 25 at the Ice Box in Brownstown.

After three long months of preparation, not only in the office but on the ice, the MCM are gearing up for their first-ever season in the North Division.

With a selected roster of 25 young, energetic and talented players, the Machine will be one of the youngest teams in the North Division. Familiar faces from Trenton, Wyandotte, St. Clair Shores, Orchard Lake and Dexter will be gracing the Downriver’s newest addition to the North American Hockey League.

Fans, friends and family can get a first look at the newly formed Machine on September 6 when they host the Mahoning Valley Phantoms, last year’s Robertson Cup runners-up.

The Machine isn’t releasing any roster information until after training camp and their first game for protection of the players, according to the team.
