USA Hockey announced Friday a revision of its national player development plans for 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as detailed below.

• USA Hockey has canceled the 2020 Boys Select 15 National Camp (2005 birth year)
• USA Hockey has canceled the 2020 Girls 15 National Camp (2005 birth year)
• USA Hockey has canceled the 2020 Girls 16/17 National Camp (2003/2004 birth years)
• USA Hockey will tentatively conduct the Boys Select 16 (2004 birth year) and 17 (2003 birth year) National Camps and the Girls Under-18 Select National Camp (2003, 2004, 2005 birth years)

 In addition, on the recommendation of USA Hockey, Central District Boys Player Development Camp in Ames, IA and Girls Player Development Camp in Green Bay, WI are cancelled this year.  Boys and girls that were registered for the Central District Tryout will receive refunds in the coming weeks.

The decision to tentatively hold the Boys Select 16 and 17 National Camps and Girls Under-18 Selection National Camp will continue to be reviewed daily and that invitations to those camps, if they are ultimately held, will come from USA Hockey’s national office, with input from USA Hockey coaches, scouts, district player development representatives and other hockey personnel.

USA Hockey will continue to post updates related to the coronavirus situation at USAHockey.com.

Decisions like this are never easy and the health and safety of our players & parents is paramount - hence our decision. Thank you for your continued support of hockey in the Central District.  For questions, reach out to Girls Player Development representative Andy Bradford or Boys Player Development representative Mike Connor.
