European Prospect Camp, Innsbruck (May 2–4, 2026). For players born 2007–2010: one practice, four games, goalie clinic with Olympian Luka Gracnar. Scouts from USHL/NAHL/NCDC on site. Meals + hotel included; parent info sessions. Apply now!

Get ready to lace up in the heart of the Alps! The European Prospect Camp in Innsbruck is where ambitious young hockey players take their shot at the big leagues. Over three action-packed days (May 2–4, 2026), players born between 2007–2010 will train, compete, and showcase their skills in front of scouts from the USHL, NAHL, and NCDC—some of the top American junior leagues.

We're talking real exposure: league representatives on site, scouts watching every game, and a lineup of teams like the Youngstown Phantoms, Maryland Black Bears, Mercer Chiefs, Calgary Bandits, Lewiston Maineiacs, and Boston Hockey Academy. The camp features one practice and four games for every participant, plus a goalie clinic led by former pro and Olympian Luka Gracnar.

But it's not just about what happens on the ice. Your camp package includes meals and hotel stay for players (and family options too!), so you can focus on hockey—and maybe sneak in a strudel or two. Parents are invited to information sessions with league representatives, and the entire weekend is designed for networking, learning, and, of course, showcasing your talents.

Ready to make your mark? Apply online now—spots fill up fast, and selections are made every two weeks until the teams are set. Innsbruck awaits. Game on!
