EXETER, N.H. — The ’06 Crimson Combine brought some very good 2006-born players to The Rinks at Exeter from Aug. 3-4.

The event is always well put together by the Harvard coaching staff. This year was no exception, but it did lack some top Canadian players who usually make the trek to Harvard’s Bright Arena. This year’s event was moved to New Hampshire, due to Massachusetts not allowing games at the time.

Below is a look at the top players from the ’06 Crimson Combine, broken down by position. Note: The following is meant as an identification of some top players in the age group. I spent more time watching the ’05s who were playing basically simultaneously, but I believe this is an accurate representation of the ’06 standouts from the event.
