Full Slate Will Return in Summer 2021

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Hockey announced today it will not hold its typical series of Player Development Camps for boys and girls that take place each summer.

“These camps are a significant part of our overall player development program, but with the current restrictions and uncertainties, we have decided that we cannot hold these player development camps this summer,” said Kevin McLaughlin, assistant executive director of USA Hockey for hockey development. “We share in the disappointment of the players and families, as well as coaches and staff, who would have been involved. On a positive note, we’re excited to see some rinks opening up across the country and we look forward to hosting a full slate of player development camps again next summer.”

USA Hockey canceled the Boys Select 15, Girls 15, and Girls 16/17 camps on March 20 and today canceled the remaining camps that had been listed as tentative, including the Boys Select 16, Boys Select 17 and Girls Under-18 Select camps.

Dates and locations for the 2021 USA Hockey Player Development Camps will be released at a later time.

Dear USA Hockey Pacific District Members,

At this time, the USA Hockey Pacific District Board of Directors in cancelling all 2020 District Player Development Camps, and Multi-District Player Development Camps given the strong recommendation by USA Hockey Leadership.

Under this direction, the USA Hockey Pacific District Board of Directors is cancelling the following events effective immediately;

• 2020 Pacific District Boys Player Development Camp (May 7-10, Las Vegas, NV)
• 2020 Girls Multi-District Player Development Camp (June 6-10, Colorado Springs, CO)
• 2020 Western Regional Select 14 High Performance Camp (June 14-19, Colorado Springs, CO)

Our Board understands the importance of these camps to our young players and appreciate their hard work and commitment this season. This is not our desired result, but player safety, and uncertainty of this pandemic led to this decision. Further, the decision comes after hours of discussions with administrators around the United States inclusive of the USA Hockey Youth Council, USA Hockey Girls/Women’s Section, and USA Hockey Player Development Committee.

The USA Hockey Pacific District has directed full refunds to registered participants through Rocky Mountain Register (RMR), our USA Hockey Player Development Program. Further, I would encourage those families taking advantage of the Red Rock Hotel Friends & Family Rate to cancel in a timely manner.

Again, the Board apologizes for these unforeseen circumstances and looks forward to continuing our programs in 2021. If you have further questions or feedback, I would be happy to discuss further at your convenience.

Respectfully

Kris Knauss

Chairman, USA Hockey Pacific Director

Welcome to PNAHA's registration process for female players participating in the PNAHA Washington State Female Development Camp. Note: Females must register on this Girls/Women Page. Do NOT use the link on the Youth Development Camp page to register if you are female. PNAHA is required to utilize the Rocky Mountain Register to register players for the PNAHA Development Camps.

What else will the State Camp do for me?

• Players will have the opportunity to improve and test their skills by playing with and against other female players from the state in skill sessions (first day) and scrimmages (second day). Additional ice time, exposure to a broad pool of players and coaches, and the opportunity to compete at a higher level will aid in players’ growth and development.  Whether or not a player is selected to move on to subsequent USA Hockey camps, she will gain from this unique, fun and challenging hockey experience.

How will this help my goal to play collegiate hockey?

• Additional opportunities to play at the state, district and national level always helps with exposure to collegiate scouts. Moreover, additional ice time benefits your game, allowing you to progress to your next goal, whether that is making a local rep team or working towards a spot on a collegiate roster.

Is there still time to sign up?

How much does it cost? What do I get?

• The registration fee is $135. Each player receives a State Camp jersey.

Registration Process

• NOTE: Attendance at the PNAHA WA State Camp is a requirement for attending the Pacific District Tryout/Development Camp, now called the Multi-District Tryout and Evaluation Camp. No exceptions.

Why is the Pacific District Tryout/Development Camp in Colorado?

If there is no way for a 14U player to go to the National Camp this year, why should I go to the District Camp?

• NOTE: since 2015 there has been no 14U National Camp
• Besides the opportunity to “be seen” by a significant number of coaches and scouts, the camp provides huge player development opportunities and will prepare the 14U player with the ability to experience what they can expect to see during the 2019 Multi-District Evaluation Camp.
