2024 Boys District Camp Tryout
WHAT ARE NED CAMPS
The objective of USA Hockey’s Player Development Program is to select and train the most competitive men’s and women’s ice hockey teams to represent the United States at the Olympic, National, National Junior and Select levels of international competition.
The attainment of this goal begins each summer as USA Hockey hosts a series of National Player Development Camps for boys players ages 15, 16 and 17 and girls players ages 15, 16, and 17. Nearly 1,300 athletes representing each of USA Hockey’s 11 Districts participate in the camps, which attract scouts and evaluators from every level of hockey. Camp participants receive on and off-ice training under the direction of leading USA Hockey coaches, along with current and former National Hockey League and Women’s National Team players. Participants are chosen through an evaluation process conducted at the local and District levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be notified if selected to participate in the District camp?
We don't notify players if they've been selected or not. The evaluators will rank the players and District will invite players based on those rankings. Since the number of players from CT that are invited isn't a fixed number, we don't announce results.
