Teams

Our goal is to provide an environment where young athletes are challenged to seek their personal best. The mission of this high performance program is to provide an experience that focuses on the physical, mental and emotional development of the athlete.

At NAHA we support a U19 and U16 team. The White Team is older and plays against many Intermediate and Senior teams in Canada and the top U19 club teams in the US. The Red Team is comprised of quality, very talented young players interested in developing and committing to a high performance program. It provides girls a steppingstone to the Elite levels while competing successfully at the same level in tournaments as the White Team and against many of the same teams. Developing as a hockey player takes time, and cannot be accomplished by simply signing on to a higher level team. Both teams receive the same coaching and resources, allowing athletes to develop skills and game sense to play at a higher level while competing and training at a level above any other alternative for girls of this age.

 White Team

  • Comprised of PG's, seniors, juniors and exceptional underclassmen on a national level.
  • Compete at USA Hockey Tier I tournaments (USAH U19), CHA Intermediate AA), and International National Team programs.
  • Requires a serious commitment to on and off ice training. The student-athlete must be prepared to make significant sacrifices during the season.
  • How to determine your level of play relative to this team: many of these players have been invited to the USA Hockey National Development camps, CHA U-18 and U-22 Provincial and Canada Games Team players, as well as some National Team level players.

 Red Team

  • Comprised of high school age players. This team is an excellent step for underclassmen looking to improve. Many of the players have participated in the USA Hockey Select Festivals at either the 14 or 15/16 camps.
  • Receives the same practice schedule, off ice training and support as the White team.
  • Compete at USA Hockey Tier I tournaments (USAH U19 or U16), CHA Intermediate AA or Midget AA, against the elite prep teams, and top club teams.
  • This team will be coached by full time members of the NAHA coaching staff, and in both on and off ice daily training sessions.
  • Players from the Red Team have been offered full college scholarships after their junior year, as they prepare to move from the Red to the White team and selected to the USA Hockey U18 selection camp.
