| The
Princeton Sports Center's National Development Prep Camp is one of
the premier summer opportunities to develop your game and receive
great exposure. Prep coaches run the practices, coach the games and
give daily seminars. I personally look forward to spending a week
of my summer there working with my colleagues and coaching kids from
all over the country. The rink is a first class facility and the program
is exceptionally well run. - Jeff Matthews, Head Coach, Northwood School |
Quotes from past players: "The exposure was fantastic and the camp was so well run, thanks again!"

Playing hockey at a NEPSAC (New England Prep School Athletic Athletic Council) school is one of the best routes for preparing to play college hockey. Aside from gaining a solid academic foundation, the level of play is superior and the exposure to college coaches is excellent. For players aspiring to play college hockey, attending a prep school is a strong opportunity. Based on 2006-07 NCAA rosters, here's a breakdown of players who made these teams:
71% of D-1 Prep School players in the last 4 years made an NCAA hockey roster.
54% of USA Hockey Junior A Tier I players made an NCAA roster.
32% of USA Hockey Junior A Tier II players made an NCAA roster.
3% of USA Hockey Junior B players made an NCAA roster.

better understand your abilities, character and work ethic when they are
on the ice with you.
