The CCM Minnesota Hockey High Performance programs are designed to identify and develop the best players ages 14-18 in Minnesota and to provide the top players from each district or section a chance to play with and against the best players in their area and the state.

The CCM High Performance Spring programs, formerly Advanced, are conducted in conjunction with USA Hockey and are referred to as “Select” programs in other parts of the country. These programs provide players the opportunity to advance to national festivals/camps which are used by USA Hockey to identify the top performers in each age group for possible opportunities to represent the U.S.A. at advanced levels of national and international hockey competition. Spring HP tryouts begin in March.
