NORTHWEST REGULATORS TIER 1 'AAA' Tryouts June 1st - 3rd

The Northwest Regulators Tier 1 'AAA' hockey program is quickly becoming recognized as one of the premier Tier 1 programs in the country. With state of the art facilities, experienced coaching staff, a track record for developing and moving players on to higher levels of hockey, and a challenging Tier 1 schedule - the Regulators are a great option for any player looking to excel and play at the top levels of Junior 'A' and Collegiate level hockey.

The NW Regulators are holding their tryout camp on June 1st - 3rd at Steiner Ice Facility in SLC, UT. Limited spots are still available. More information regarding the tryout camp is included below.

Take a look at what the Northwest Regulators are about with this team video or visit us at www.ultimatehockeyinc.com/consulting.tier1video.html

PROMOTING PLAYERS TO A HIGHER LEVEL

Our goal as an organization is to develop and prepare players for Junior 'A' and College hockey. Then, promote and move those players on to the highest levels of Junior 'A' and College hockey.

Although the off-season is just beginning and most Junior 'A' teams have not even held their tryout camps, but we are very proud of our players as we currently have players:
• 1 player verbally commit on a full ride scholarship to Alaska-Anchorage in the WCHA
• 2 player offered full ride scholarships to several top D-1 colleges.
• 1 player taken in the 1st Round of the USHL draft 11th overall
• 2 player taken in the 10th round of the USHL draft
• 2 players sign a tender/card with an Alberta Junior 'A' Hockey League Team (www.ajhl.ca).
• 3 players being heavily recruited by NAHL, AJHL, or BCHL teams.

This is a huge accomplishment for a 2nd year program, and in future seasons the list will only get longer.
