Forty-six of the top American hockey players born in 2001 have been invited to USA Hockey's National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp. The camp, which will help select the 2017-18 U.S. National Under-17 Team, will take place March 24-28, at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Michigan.
A full roster and game schedule can be found below.
The 46 players, including 25 forwards, 16 defensemen and five goaltenders, will be divided into two teams. The squads will participate in on-ice practices and off-ice training, as well as five games.
The 46 players on the 2017 National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp roster represent 19 different states. New York leads the way with nine natives on the roster, while Minnesota and Massachusetts are tied for second with five. California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and Texas boast three players each.

There were five Minnesota players selected, the lowest number selected to the camp in four years, with the state of hockey grabbing 11 invites each of the last three years.
MIA - A glaring miss from the list was Shattuck-St.Mary's forward Grant Silianoff not earning an invite to try out. Silianoff leads the No. 1 ranked Sabres with 67 points as an '01 player - out pacing other invited forwards from SSM Kaden Bohlsen (32 points), John Farinacci (57 points) and (Robert Mastrosimone (37 points).
On January 31 we wrote this article projecting who will be invited. The five invited and Silianoff were on our list of locks. Here are a few that likely just missed.
Six of these seven had great seasons for their teams, building on success they had last Spring/Summer. Hanus was injured and is not healthy enough yet to participate if he were invited.
