mhshca.com - Michigan High School Hockey Coaches' Association

The Excellence Program runs from Thursday, August 2 through Sunday, August 5, 2012, and is held at the Chelsea Arctic Coliseum. Directed by USA Hockey American Development Model Regional Manager Bob Mancini and Chelsea High School Head Coach Don Wright, the camp gives Michigan’s best sophomore, junior, and senior high school players the opportunity to display their skills in front of National Hockey League Scouts.

In addition to a four-game schedule, players are involved in multiple skill development practices, off-ice training and educational sessions. These off-ice sessions are designed to assess each player’s physical ability and to benefit his development as a player. At the end of camp, each player will receive an in-depth written evaluation from an NHL scout, who has been personally assigned to evaluate his team. This evaluation documents strengths and weaknesses, along with suggestions for continued development and improvement.

We will also present seminars to help answer frequently answered questions regarding future hockey plans. These sessions are aimed to help players and parents navigate through the next phases of a player’s development.
