Doubt it. I’m hearing they will invite 40 girls to the camp, then make a cut to 22 and a final cut to 20. I would expect quite a few from the U17/U16 camp, a few that weren’t there, and they historically ask a few from the U15 camp.

Will the girls that played in the “All-Star” game be the only girls invited to U18 Tryout camp in August?

As a spectator at many of these events, and after talking to many D1 coaches to confirm my opinion, I can assure you that being from MN doesn’t make you better or worse than any other girls at the camp. Each year USAH is looking for something different and selects for the All-Star game based on that.. For those that think the All-Star game was made up of all the “best” girls at the camp, they would be mistaken. I will comment more in my upcoming summary.

Or maybe they did …. Perhaps Minnesota hockey is that much better, and perhaps knowing the girls that were injured and couldn;t participate fully during the week lead them to the decision that these were the best girls for the all-start team. BTW, I have no affiliation with Minnesota hockey and my daughter was not selected for the all-start game.

Its funny how 14 Minnesota girls (including 2 SSM Girls) made the All-Star game. Also there were certain players that didnt play all week and they made the “all-star” team. Its a shame that USA hockey didnt look at the big picture when picking that team.
