USA Hockey has announced the players invited to the U.S. NTDP evaluation camp, and eleven Michigan names are on the final list.
The evaluation camp will be held from March 20-24 at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube, and it will showcase some of the top American-born players in the ’99 birth-year.
Players invited to the camp will be divided into three teams – Red, White and Blue. Squads will partake in on-ice practices and off-ice training, as well as two full games.

Stan Bowman, GM of the Chicago Blackhawks, will speak to camp attendees and their parents, as well. Bowman was part of the U.S. Men’s National Team Advisory Committee for the 2014 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team.
