On NHL Hockey Ice
So you think you’d like to skate on the NHL hockey ice?
Well, there are many ways to get to skate on NHL ice these days. NHL franchised hockey teams have many different promotions to facilitate your use of their ice. Playing professional hockey on NHL ice is a different story.
Play Pro Hockey – NHL Entry Draft
How does one get to play pro hockey, specifically nhl hockey? To be recruited to the NHL entry draft, NHL prospects are watched and chosen from the CHL (ohl, whl, qmjhl); Europe; junior hockey leagues; college hockey leagues from NCAA hockey; highschool and minor hockey; CJHL, USHL, and NAHL. Those players who attract the attention of NHL scouts have extensive hockey training from numerous hockey drills and hours on and off ice. They’ve attended hockey camps and hockey schools, and have superior hockey skills. Some will have to prove themselves in the AHL or other minor pro hockey leagues like the ECHL first.
Ice Hockey Goals
If your goal is to play ice hockey on an NHL team, then it’s likely that you’ve already put in some effort, and hockey teams may want you too. Their scouts have to find you though.
Do you know which are the best hockey leagues to play in to be scouted?

Hello Mike,
My son is a 12 year old goalie in the LCAHL. Is he too young to take to the various showcase tournaments offered to players his age? He doesn’t play AAA yet, however he is ready per some instructors evaluations- as you know, goaltender spots are very limited, and hopefull by Spring of 2015 he will play AAA. I am looking for avenues of exposure for him, and thought these various tournaments that are offered might be a good choice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike.
Regards,
Mike
