The purpose of the CCM High Performance Program is to identify, train, educate and evaluate Minnesota's best hockey players. The competition throughout the program gives each player the opportunity to measure themselves against others in his age group, gain knowledge about his development and to be exposed to outstanding coaching.

Please contact your District General Manager (contact information below) for specific details relating to the district tryout process.

• Phase 1: Players will participate in tryouts within their Minnesota Hockey Districts. In 2025, players must have a 2011 birth date to participate. Players will receive 3.5 hours of ice time.
