Our Mission is to develop a long-lasting tradition of competitive hockey in the Pacific Northwest for the female athlete that fosters their development and exposure to upper level women’s hockey and recruitment by our nation’s best college hockey programs.

The NW Selects started its girls program in 2005 and have been go strong ever since. Our players are some of the most skilled players in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada and we play in the highest profile tournaments available.

This summer the NWS will also be kicking off its Introductory Program. The program will be made available to 4-8 year old girls who want to give hockey a try.

The NWS have purchased 20 sets of hockey equipment through the One Goal program and will make it available to camp attendees as part of the fee structure.

The camps will feature 4 sessions across 4 weeks. Each session will split the ice by skater ability, so everyone can learn at their own pace. Local NWS coaches, alumni and current U19 players will be on hand to instruct the girls ... and have a ball doing it.

More details will be available soon.

NW Selects summer camps are a great way to keep sharp in the summer, while learning new skills along the way. NWS Camps are exclusively for females and feature some of the best coaches available. Everyone is welcome, no matter where you play in-season.

NW Selects camps are structured so that they are completed in one weekend with only one night stay, if you are traveling. Players get 8 hours of ice time, 2 hours of dry-land training, 1 hour of classroom instruction ... and a lot of fun.

The dates are:
