How to Register for the Pre Prep Showcase®

Registration for the Pre Prep Showcase® is handled through the official site, preprepshowcase.com, which lists a "Register Now!" option for the 33rd annual event. Before you start, confirm your player's birth year: the showcase is open to girls and boys born in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and the 33rd annual edition runs August 5th–8th, 2027. If your player falls outside those birth years, the event is not open to them regardless of other factors.

What the Event Is

Pre Prep Showcase® describes itself as "North America's #1 Ice Hockey Showcase for Both Girls & Boys Born in 2012, 2013 & 2014" and has been "Promoting Independent School Education Since 1995!" The stated purpose is to give student-athletes exposure to private schools through ice hockey — it is a showcase and exposure event tied to independent school education, not a general youth hockey tournament.

Eligibility Check Before You Register

If your player was born in any of those three years, they meet the stated eligibility window. Anything outside it should be treated as ineligible unless the official site says otherwise at the time you register.

Registration Steps

1. Go to preprepshowcase.com.
2. Locate the "Register Now!" option on the page.
3. Confirm your player's birth year against the 2012–2014 requirement before proceeding.
4. Complete the sign-up flow the site presents for the 33rd annual event (August 5th–8th, 2027).
5. Watch for any subscription or update prompts — the site uses "subscribe" language, so expect the possibility of email or update sign-ups as part of the process.

Expected result: a completed registration for the 33rd Annual Pre-Prep Showcase®, or a clear indication from the site of what additional information is required.

Common Snags

• Wrong birth year. The most common blocker is a player born outside 2012–2014. Verify this first.
• Assuming cost or login terms. The available site information does not state pricing or whether an account is required. Do not assume the event is free or that no login is needed — check the registration flow itself.
• Relying on third-party summaries. Dates, eligibility, and sign-up steps can change. The official site is the source to confirm current details, including any subscription updates tied to registration.

Bottom Line

If your player was born in 2012, 2013, or 2014, head to preprepshowcase.com and use the "Register Now!" option for the August 5th–8th, 2027 event. Confirm birth-year eligibility before you begin, and verify current sign-up steps and any subscription terms directly on the site rather than assuming them.
