Skill development and player promotion are
our top priority at the Elite Prospects Showcase & Development Team. Over the years we have developed relationships with many
Junior, OHL, NCAA and professional coaches and placed many of our players in their
programs.
Our players undergo intense on and off ice
training daily for 4 weeks. The training schedule is designed around individual skills
development. Our on-ice and off-ice training
staff are qualified, established coaches from
USport, OHL and Jr ‘A’ teams who are full-time
for the operation of this program.

Living & Billeting
Billet Families
Over the years, the team has been very fortunate to attract fantastic billets for all of our players. All potential billets are interviewed by the team and must submit an official police record check to qualify as billets. The team tries to find homes that will house two players in order to make the transition more comfortable for each new team member. Each player is responsible to pay their billet family the agreed upon billet fee on the 1st of every month. The billeting option is $600/month which includes all living expenses such as rent, food, utilities, internet. The families try to include players as a member of the family and treat them as if their own child.
Financial Obligations
Billeting is optional during camp, and the players in the homestay program are responsible to look after their own billeting payment on the 1st day of arrival. Billeting is CAD $600 per month ($20/day) paid directly to the billet family.
For import players, non-Canadian, insurance is recomended Manulife Financial and costs approximately CAD $120 for the duration of the spring training season. This insurance covers Covid-19.
Team fees amount to CAD $2400 with all team fee payments discussed and arranged over phone or e-mail. Payment schedules over 2-3 months are commonly arranged to accomodate players. Tuitions must be paid in full prior to arriving at camp.

Covid-19 Contingency Plan
Planning through the challenges of Covid-19 for the 2021 program the EP Showcase has prepared for several scenarios. We ask that our players understand that some details of the program may change due to unforeseen circumstances and by registering with the Camp, this is acknowledged and accepted. Some of these plans include:
• Should the camp be unable to start on June 7, back-up Dates will be August 2 - August 27. All registered players will be moved to this date period and their spot secured. If they are unable to make the backup dates, credits towards the 2022 Showcase Camp will be offered.
• If tournament play is not permitted due to Covid-19 game restrictions, the Showcase will substitute with a in-house testing combine on final three days of the camp.
• Training times and tournaments may be subject to change due to arena protocols and Covid19 restrictions
