2009 Player Development Selections - National Camp Tryout 
2009 Player Development Selections - Select 13 Camp  

Player Development Overview 

Each summer USA Hockey provides National Camp opportunities for U.S. citizens that are the best of the best. To participate in these camps, the player identification process starts at the local (North & South Carolina) Affiliate level. Players participate in their Affiliate evaluation process and if selected move on to the district tryouts. Those players who are selected at the district level then have the priviledge of attending one of the USA Hockey summer development camps. National Camps are available for 14-17 year old players. 

The SE District will also participate in a multi-District tournament at Kent State University with teams from the Atlantic, Mid-America and Massachusetts Districts at the Select 14 & Select 15 age levels. Players are identified at the District Tryouts to participate in these events.  Players chosen to participate in a USA Hockey National Camp are not eligible.

In addition the Southeastern District holds a camp for the top 13 year olds (second year Pee Wee) in the District as a introduction to the USA Hockey development program. Each affiliate in the Southeastern District sends 20 players to this week long summer camp.  Top coaches in the area come in to work with players to help them further their skills.  Prospective players must participate in their local Affiiate selection process to be eligible for the camp.  A team of 20 players (2-goaltenders, 12-forwards, 6-defenseman)  will be selected from the Select 13 camp to participate in a multi-District tournament at Kent State University with teams from the Atlantic, Mid-America and Massachusetts Districts.
