The NOHA Under 17 Program of Excellence Camp is the entry point to the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence. Following the Under 17 Program, the Under 18 Program and World Junior Team are the second and third steps of the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence. Over the years, players such as Derek McKenzie (Columbus Blue Jackets), Tyler Kennedy (Pittsburgh Penguins), Steve Sullivan (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Todd Bertuzzi (Detroit Red Wings) have gone through the NOHA Under 17 Program of Excellence. Brody Silk (2010) and Ryan Kujawinski (2011) are recent NOHA graduates to have represented Team Ontario at the World Under 17 Challenge. Whether you are from a small town or a large city, the NOHA Under 17 Program of Excellence offers a tremendous opportunity to showcase your talents amongst the top 1996-born players in Northern Ontario. All participants will have an equal opportunity to showcase their hockey skills. In April, 2012, the NOHA will conduct the 30th Annual Program of Excellence (Under 17) Camp.
