Three Aspen Leafs girls have advanced from the Colorado Player Evaluation Camp to the 2016 Girls Multi-District Player Development Camp June 11-16 in Colorado Springs (Colorado College).  Four more Aspen players were selected as alternates. 

Congratulations: AK Fuentes (2002), Juna Rettig (2001), and Stella Scott (2001).  (Former Leafs Rachel Potoker and Lara Trulove also advanced).

Alternates: Sasha Brucker, Elsa Cassidy, Hayley Heinecken, and Charlotte Howie

The camp emphasizes skill development and provides an opportunity for players to measure themselves against the best players from three USA Hockey Districts (Pacific, Rocky Mountain, and Northern Plains). Players attending the camp will be placed on teams, with a designated team leader, upon arrival and will be on the ice with ACHA, NCAA College, Tier I, Prep School, and USA Hockey National personnel, twice each day. There will also be off- ice sessions, hockey related educational seminars, a college fair and a visit to the USA Hockey National Offices.

For 2016, all of the camp’s on-ice instructors and coaches will be asked to evaluate players throughout the camp. At the conclusion of the camp, the individual instructor/coach’s player rankings will be compiled to form an aggregated player ranking. Staff from USA Hockey’s National Office will also participate in the selection process. From there, and based on the allocations allotted to the Pacific District and Rocky Mountain District, 15U, 16U and 17U players will be selected to advance to the National Camp.
