2021-22 U19 Premier Informational Meeting Agenda ● What is Premier? ● Coaches Corner ● Tryouts ● Education Options ● Team Details ● Billeting ○ Features ● Questions ○ Practices ○ Games ○ Travel ● Schedule ○ League ○ Tournaments What is “Premier” “Premier” is a full time Junior like development program that is designed to provide the same opportunity as a full season prep-school or junior program. Combining dedicated players, college like promotion and 4-6 touches a week provides the program players what they need to accomplish their hockey goals in college and beyond. Why do you say Premier “Junior” like program? USA Hockey does not sanction any girls/women’s junior programs. Since this is a USA hockey rostered team we can not call it “Juniors” but it will be similar in look and feel to coed/boys junior programs. The Mission With the tremendous growth of girls hockey in the Carolinas and the southeast, the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes are committed to providing an elite junior development program that allows girls to develop on and off the ice while playing in the southeast and still pursue their dreams. The program will help propel athletes to reach their goals -- collegiately and beyond -- by putting them in a competitive, growth-minded and team-focused environment with access to high-level coaching, increased ice time, and a supportive academic environment. The start of the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes Premier Girls junior development program will positively change the landscape for thousands of female hockey players in the southeast and support the long-term growth of girls hockey in the region.
