SCHEDULE & ROSTERS

You will your specific team roster and schedule by the end of next week - August 13th at the latest.  Thanks for your patience on this.

 

 

NEXT TESTING - ON-ICE TESTING REGISTRATION

Before I get into the details, please note that if you are a GOALIE, you DO NOT need to register for the NEXT Testing.  Goalies will be doing their own testing during their goalie specific session with Sami Jo on Saturday morning - so the goalies do not need to complete this on-line registration.

For all the players:

As you know, we are bringing in NEXT testing to do our on-ice testing at the camp. They do on-ice testing for the OHL and NHL and have been doing the testing at our camps for the past year.  Everything is laser-timed, computerized and very accurate.  You will actually get to see how you stack up in all the tests in real-time as the results as posted instantly.  It is very high tech and we are lucky to have them on board for the event.

You MUST register for the on-ice NEXT Testing on-line as soon as possible.  I will be sending an email with an attached document that explains exactly how to do it.  It is not complicated at all - just follow the steps.  For those of you who have tested with NEXT before, all you need is your username and password to sign-in since you’ve already created a profile.  If you’ve never tested with NEXT before, you’ll have to create a username and password first.

This on-line registration MUST be completed before FRIDAY AUGUST 13th.

 

 

 

ATTENDEES

As of July 15th, we’ve got elite players from all over North America registered for the camp - ranging from Bantam AA up to Junior (you will be placed on a team with players in the same age group).  We can take up to 88 players total - and there are only 7more spots left.

So if you have any friends or teammates who might be interested, please pass along the camp information and website via:  www.totalfemalehockeyexperience.com

COLLEGE COACHES IN ATTENDANCE:

 

NOTE:  College coach evaluators will watch all on-ice sessions.

 

At this point we’ve got 8 college coaches confirmed for the event and we expect to have more.  We will be sending out a "PLAYER PROFILE" for each player to fill out before the camp so that we can give each coach in attendance a complete profile on each player to follow-up with for recruiting purposes.

 

Please note - this event is specifically designed for YOU to find out exactly what you need to do on and off the ice to get to the next level. While it is definitely beneficial to have coaches there watching, at the end of the day, it’s what you do with the feedback and information you receive during and after the event that is going to get you noticed, recruited and closer to your dreams.
