Little Caesars AAA 14U Boys Team Wins National Championship

The Little Caesars AAA 14-and-under boys’ team captured the 2026 Chipotle-USA Hockey Tier 1 national championship at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Michigan. The team is led by former Detroit Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood, along with Head Coach Artem Mnatsakanov.

The 14U squad was one of six Little Caesars AAA teams to qualify for Nationals, and all six teams delivered strong performances. The 13U team reached the semifinals, while multiple teams advanced to the quarterfinals, underscoring the depth of the program and the consistent development taking place across all levels.

“We’re incredibly proud of our 14U team, and of all of our athletes and families across the Little Caesars AAA program, for the way they represent our organization through their work ethic, teamwork, and commitment to our core values,” said Brian Rolston, director of Little Caesars Amateur Hockey. “We look forward to continuing to develop our athletes and preparing them for long-term success in hockey and across all aspects of their lives.”

Founded in 1968, Little Caesars AAA Hockey provides young athletes access to elite competition while helping them build discipline, leadership, and habits that shape them both on and off the ice.
