BSA
College Showcase
The
BSA College Showcase gives local hockey players a forum to
display their talents in front of college coaches, scouts, and
officials. It is designed for players that are currently
in their sophomore, junior, or senior year in high school,
college freshmen, or junior hockey players.
With almost 250 players participating in the first two showcase events, the event has been highly successful with
many players going on to play college hockey after
showcase participation.
All showcases feature 4-6 teams consisting of 2-goalies,
6-defensmen, and 12-forwards per team. All games are
played using NCAA hockey rules. College level officials
will officiate all games. Teams will be divided by age
and playing level. Teams will receive a 5 min. warm up
before playing (2) 26 min. stop time halves. Each goalie
will play half of the game with the second goalie receiving a
short warm up. |

Showcase |
The 3th Annual College
Showcase will be held at the Bridgewater Sports Arena on Friday,
December 28th, 2007 from 11:00-6:00pm. The first two College
Showcases featured over 225 players from all over the east coast.
While the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association does not
officially endorse any college showcase events, it does encourage
its coaches to attend the events in an effort to recruit and
evaluate local hockey talent. Many MACHA coaches attend the
BSA showcase because of its geographic location and its ability to
showcase strong college hockey candidates. Over the years we have had players from Junior
Elite, Junior B, Midget A, AA, and AAA, and High School Varsity
teams participate. All of the attending colleges do not offer
hockey scholarships.
The Bridgewater Sports Arena strongly supports college hockey and is
the only arena in New Jersey to have hosted the DII ACHA National
Championships.
Once again, the 2005 and 2006 BSA College Showcases were sold
out. The day began with a presentation by all of the attending
schools. Each coach or team representative spoke for 5-10
minutes and talked about their school, team, hockey commitment, the
arena in which they play, entrance requirements, and more.
After the speeches were complete,
parents and players had the opportunity to meet the coaches and ask
any questions that they might have. Many teams provided
information packets for their school to anyone interested in them.
After the coaches forum, parents
were still able to talk to the coaches while the players got
dressed. The Bridgewater Sports Arena provided coaches to run
the benches while the college coaches watched from the upper observation
areas. Each college was provided a professionally bound book
containing all of the information provided by the players including
personal and team stats, height/weight, and contact
information. The action on the ice was fast and furious!
