As has been previously noted in this forum, there are 2 excellant opportunities available for '91 girls. Trouble is, they're both the same week, the last week of June. <br><br>The Minnesota Hockey Advanced 15 Summer Development Camp in Mankato is an invitation-only camp made up of 6 teams; that's 90 skaters, 12 goalies!!! That's a huge number, especially considering they're targeting the top '91's. <br><br>That same week, the Freshman/Sophomore Development Camp is taking place at Breezy Point. This is also a great opportunity, put on by the MGHCA and girls have to try out to be invited. <br><br>Here's the dilemma; the deadline for submitting for the Mankato camp is May 9th. Tryouts for the Fr./So. camp are ongoing and the results probably won't be mailed out until after May 9th. <br><br>So, if your daughter's invited to both, which one's the best choice? <p></p><i></i>

I would choose the Mankato Camp. The advanced 15 camp is put on by some college coaches (MSU Staff) and is supposed to mirror the boys advanced 15 camp. <br><br>The coaches camp is run by HS coaches with some former college players as couselors/coaches. <br><br>From what I heard last year the HS camp was good, but not great. I also heard that it was not a true reflection of the "best" players.<br><br>Tough choice. Good luck. <p></p><i></i>

I would go with the camp that is closer and more convenient to attend. I wouldn't get to worried about which one to attend. Like any week long camp, neither will have that great of an impact on a player's development. <p></p><i></i>
