Charlottetown – Hockey PEI is hosting a Male U17 and Female U18 minicamp May 29-30 at the MacLauchlan Arena in Charlottetown.

Each participant at the minicamp will have one practice and two games to showcase their talent. The cost of the provincial camp is $50. The first 4 goalies, 12 defence and 24 forwards per group will be accepted into the camp. Registration will be taken on a first come first serve basis.

The Under 17M and U18F programs are a cornerstone for Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence. It is the first time that players in our country get to put on the Canadian jersey and compete against international teams. The invaluable experience gained by these young men and women will help them as many will go on to represent Canada in many different international tournaments.

"Four years ago I watched the Canada Games team on TV. Being a young hockey player I knew I wanted to play at that level some day. I started to work towards my goal that year. The program of Excellence was a great yearly measurement of my success.
