"Hockey After High School"

AHAI is proud to present the 22nd annual series of Seminars on the opportunities in ice hockey. We’ll talk about Men’s and Women’s Division I, III, Club Hockey, Junior College, Prep Schools and Junior Programs. A wide array of topics will be discussed that will include:

• Making a College Hockey Team - “What does it take besides hockey skills?”
• Financial Aid - How do you apply?
• How to pick the right school for you?
• NCAA and the new stricter rules for admittance for athletes.
• Making the Grades - How important is it?
• Should I play Juniors before college?
• Prep Schools – Should I go or Should I stay?
• USA Hockey Camps/Festivals
• America's Showcase
• Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Scholarship Program

Attendance is mandatory for all players (male & female) born in 1999 or earlier who have not attended a ”College Night” in the past. Players born after 1999 will not be allowed to attend this year.
