Tournaments
Over the last 21 years, our SELECTS teams have participated
in the most competitive tournaments in Canada and the
U.S. Over the last several years those events have included
the highly regarded King & Queen of the Rings tournament
in Toronto, the Jr. Warriors Showcase in Boston, The
Canada Day Cup in Ottawa and the Summer Storm tournament
in Boston. The Atlantic Hockey Group is constantly
searching and evaluating high level summer tournaments in
order to provide our Selects teams with the best option for
a great hockey experience. Final tournament selection will
be made after consulting with the individual teams to determine
best fit.
Tournaments will be selected based on their high level of
competition which creates a recognizable standard against
which we can measure ourselves as well as the timing as
the AHG encourages high performance players to take some
time off from hockey during the summer while using the
mid August to September time period to prepare for the upcoming
hockey season.
WHY CHOOSE THE SELECTS?
The Selects program offers a unique environment which is
difficult to obtain elsewhere. The AHG’s eight full-time staff
members and the network of over 400 coaches associated
with the AHG provides a very strong structure to assure
that the top players in Atlantic Canada will form our Selects
teams. The program is stable, comprehensive and innovative,
thereby ensuring that there will always be a yearly path
of progression for players to play for more senior teams.
The cost is comparable to a hockey school, yet the Selects
offer a high level training camp and tournament, all with 17
talented players on the ice.
