EnglishWhat is Pre Prep Showcase®?
Updated
Pre Prep Showcase® is an annual ice hockey showcase that promotes independent school education, running since 1995. The 33rd Annual Pre-Prep Showcase® is scheduled for August 5th–8th, 2027, and is open to both girls and boys born in 2012, 2013, and 2014. It is positioned as an opportunity for young student-athletes to gain exposure to private schools through ice hockey.
Who it is for
The event is built around a specific age band rather than a general youth hockey audience. According to the event page, eligibility is defined by birth year:
- Girls born in 2012, 2013, or 2014
- Boys born in 2012, 2013, or 2014
If a player falls outside those birth years, the showcase is not designed for them. Families with student-athletes inside that range are the intended audience.
What it offers
The core value described on the event page is exposure — connecting young players with private (independent) schools through ice hockey. The event describes itself as "North America's #1 Ice Hockey Showcase for Both Girls & Boys Born in 2012, 2013 & 2014" and frames participation as "an outstanding opportunity for student-athletes to gain exposure to private schools through ice hockey."
In practical terms, that means the showcase functions as a meeting point between hockey ability and school recruitment interest, rather than a standard tournament or league.

What to check before registering
- Confirm the birth year. The event is limited to players born in 2012, 2013, or 2014, so verify eligibility first.
- Plan around the August 2027 dates. The showcase runs August 5th–8th, 2027, so travel and scheduling should be arranged around that window.
- Understand the goal. This is an exposure event tied to independent school education, not a general development camp — families should attend with that objective in mind.
- Use the registration path on the site. The page includes a "Register Now!" call to action; pricing and payment details are not stated in the available page content, so confirm those directly through the registration process.
