CHARLOTTETOWN, PE - The Hockey PEI High Performance Program announced today that registration has opened for its Under-16 Male Spring Development Camp which will take place from May 10th to 12th, 2024 in Rustico, PEI.
The camp is open to all 2009 Birth year players who have taken part in the HPP Program previously. All camp activities will take place inside the Eliyahu Wellness Centre Canada Games Place. As part of the camp, players will experience on-ice skill sessions, practices, fitness testing, classroom sessions featuring HPP alumni and will ultimately finish off with game action on Sunday.
This camp is the first step of the Under-16 Male HPP process for players looking to crack the roster for Team PEI that will compete in the regional Under-16 event in Dieppe, New Brunswick this October. The regional event is also the first leg in the road to the QMJHL Cup, a highly scouted event that takes place in Blainville-Boisbriand annually in May (2025). Hockey PEI players will get the chance to make one of two Team Atlantic Rosters selected to attend out of the regional tournament.

This Under-16 Male Spring Development Camp sounds like a fantastic opportunity for young players to enhance their skills and gain invaluable experience. I spent a while on the resource link that outlines the camp's activities, and it seems like a well-rounded program with a great blend of on-ice training and classroom sessions. It's exciting to see Hockey PEI providing such a strong pathway for athletes eager to compete at higher levels. Looking forward to seeing how the players develop through this initiative!
