The USA Hockey NTDP Evaluation Camp will take place next week in Plymouth, Mich. The four-day event at USA Hockey Arena runs from Monday through Thursday and will feature the country’s top 2005-born hockey players, who are hoping to make the NTDP U-17 team for the 2021-22 season.
USA Hockey NTDP Director of Player Personnel Kevin Reiter, NTDP Assistant Director of Player Personnel Rod Braceful, and several area scouts have come up with a list of ’05s who are under consideration for the prestigious program.
The NTDP Evaluation Camp usually takes place in March, but it was pushed back approximately 45 days this year, due to complications with the coronavirus. Thirteen players from the Tri-State region will participate in next week’s camp at USA Hockey Arena.
Twelve of the 13 players hail from three programs: six from Mid Fairfield, four from North Jersey Avalanche and two from Buffalo Junior Sabres. Mount Saint Charles center Tanner Adams (Northport, N.Y.), is the lone local player outside of those 12 to be selected.
