The Land of Enchantment Amateur Hockey Association (LOEAHA) is excited to announce the 2023 New Mexico Player Development Camp (NMPDC) to be held March 26, 2023, at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center in Santa Fe, NM. The PDC is an opportunity for boys and girls with birth years 2006 - 2009 to participate in high-level drills, demonstrate their hockey abilities, and compete for the state allocated roster spots to attend advanced District Player Development Camps (PDC).

The camp will consist of skill-based, on-ice drills, a competitive scrimmage, and a presentation by the New Mexico Referees Confederation about officiating and the path to becoming a high-level official. Guest speaker Kenny Greer will share his story and experiences of advancement from youth hockey right here in NM to the world of professional hockey in Europe.

Fundraising Fee: - every family will pay a $100 fundraising fee and receive 5 raffle tickets. You can sell them and recoup your money or just fill them out and return them. We will give your team manager an envelope full of tickets for each family. If a family has more than 1 athlete they will go to the the oldest athlete's team manger to hand out. The $100 per family registration will be added to your initial payment.

These are our scheduled times but sometimes practices may not always be on the same day and time as there are many users of the Outpost Ice Arenas and all of them, including NM Ice teams, are asked to be flexible so that we can schedule games and other events that are critical to them. That flexibility allows all users to have the best hockey and skating experience possible with the limited ice we have. With that in mind, it is important to check the schedule on a regular basis. Parents should download the SportsEngine app where practice and game schedules will be maintained and updated by the team managers and NM Ice scheduler. Parents can then subscribe to their team calendar so they always have the most current information. Managers will also be using this app to communicate important information throughout the season. If ever uncertain, the “Daily Schedule” dropdown at www.outposticearena.com can also be checked. Additionally, locker rooms will be scheduled for practice and games. At times lockers rooms may not be available and NM Ice teams are asked to be flexible and players may be asked to come to the rink dressed. U10 Squirt player - High School player should dress in the locker rooms when provided. Parents are encouraged to not be in the locker rooms of U10 - High School unless they've followed the steps to become a Volunteer.
