USA has a program where they field a U17 and a U18 team who train and lives in Michigan while competing in the USHL along with other exhibitions and tournaments. It’s a collection of some of the best players in the eyes of USA Hockey in the 2004 and 2005 age groups. Not all the best will play, however, as some chose to play in the CHL or stay in high school or even just not to play at all. Evaluation camp is going on now and below are the players who are at USA hockey Arena in Plymouth, MI competing for a spot. We have our Director of North American scouting in attendance and he will check in via video now and again. Below are the players in attendance with profiles linked. Stay tuned for the final selection and our report on the week.
