By @MichaelCaples –

USA Hockey announced today the dates for their 2015 National Team Development Program evaluation camp, which will be the final piece of a lengthy puzzle in which team organizers pick next year’s NTDP U17 Team.

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.

NTDP alum Kyle Lawson, a New Hudson native, will serve as one of the coaches at the camp, along with Freddy Meyer (Sanbornville, N.H.).

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.

A complete roster of invitees will be released later this month.
