PREFACE

It is important to understand that different entities are involved in the development process for girls’ hockey in the United States. USA Hockey is the governing body for the sport of hockey in the United States. USA Hockey is divided into eleven geographic districts. The States of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin comprise the Central District. AHAI, the Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois, is a sanctioned affiliate of USA Hockey and the governing body of Illinois amateur hockey. USA Hockey, the Central District and AHAI work in concert with one another to promote the development of girls’ hockey. You can get the latest information online from the USA Hockey website (www.usahockey.com), the Central District website (www.usahockey.com/central_district/default.aspx) and the AHAI website (www.ahai.org).

This outline describes various player development opportunities available through AHAI, the Central District and USA Hockey. The AHAI Girls’ Committee introduced in 2022 the Hockey Life after High School Packet which replaces the Annual Opportunities in Hockey Seminar & is located on the ‘Girls’ page of the AHAI website and continues to promote the America’s Showcase Illinois Girls Team and the Central District Girls Tryout Development Camp. The tryout camp allows for Girls from across the Central District to come together for a weekend of development & showcase their talents to be selected to attend the Central District Development Camp in June.  The Central District hosts the Central District Development Camp and USA Hockey hosts National Development Camps.
