2012 AAHA
Girls Select Development Try-out and Camp
The AAHA is committed to
developing female hockey players at all levels of the game. As a part of
that commitment, the AAHA hosts the annual player development camp each summer
for players who attend and are selected from the AAHA Select Camp Try-out in the
spring. The try-out and camp are managed by the AAHA Female Player
Development Director, Shelley Looney, and utilizes a staff of current NCAA
coaches to select the top try-out performers from across the district.
Players who are honored with selection to the development camp roster move on to
attend the AAHA Select Development Camp.
This year the AAHA Girls
Development Camp Try-out will be held at The Rinks at Warwick, Warwick, PA,
from March 23rd through the 25th. Times to follow.
Try-out selections
are made from players grouped by individual birth year. Girls born in calendar
years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are eligible to try-out and be selected to
attend the camp. Total player selection is limited to 60 girls.
Again this year the AAHA
Girls Development Camp will be held at The Rinks at Warwick, Warwick, PA.
Camp will take place June 28th through July 1st. Selected
players will have the option to be housed in a hotel nearby under the
supervision of camp staff or commute to camp daily. More details will be

2011 USA Hockey Player Development Program
In addition to the AAHA
Select Camp, girls who attend the try-out are evaluated for possible selection
to the USA Hockey Player Development Program.
The USAH Development Program
will host camps for girls born in years, 1995 (U17), 1996 (U16), 1997 (U15), 1998 (U14). Player selections are limited as USA Hockey
allocates a low number of roster spots by position and by birth year for each
district across the country.
Final selections and
numbers attending the NPDP are determined by USAH and allotments are subject to
change. Allocations have not been released by USA Hockey as of yet.
Camps are held July 11th through 17th for U16 and U17
girls, and July 20th through 26th for the
U14 and U15 girls in ST Cloud, MN.
