Player Development
USA Hockey will host more than 1,100 hockey players at nine Player Development Camps over a six-week period beginning July 7, 2012. The events will be split between the MCC Sports Centre in Rochester, N.Y., and the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn.
The weeklong sessions provide many of the United States' finest young hockey players with concentrated on- and off-ice training and instruction, as well as the chance to compete against other top players from their age group.
Each of the Boys' Select Player Development Camps will feature teams of 18 players. The Boys' 15 Player Development Camp will have 12 teams, while the Boys' Select 16 Player Development Camp will feature 10 teams. The Boys' Select 17 Player Development Camp will have eight teams.
The Girls' Select 14, 15 and 16 Player Development Camps will each showcase six teams, while the Girls' Select 17 Player Development Camp will have four teams.
In addition, the Sled Hockey Player Development Camp will offer instruction to more than 60 disabled athletes.
