The ISHA is pleased to announce the date and location of this year’s 10U Indiana Elite Prospects tryout camp from which our 2022-2023 10U part-time team will be selected.  

We will host this camp in Fort Wayne on Sunday, August 7th. Players born in 2012 and 2013 will hit the ice for two sessions at the SportOne/Parkview Icehouse that day. (Schedule will be sent to all registered players.) Also on that day, we will hold an informational meeting for parents to outline the season in detail and answer any questions that you may have. 

All interested players should register (link below). If you attended tryouts in April and are unable to attend the tryout camp on August 7, your April evaluation can be used but you must register to indicate your interest and intent to play if rostered. See registration and discount code information below.

About 10U Indiana Elite Prospects Team

After gathering feedback at our 10U tryouts back in April, it was determined that we have sufficient interest in a part time team from 2012 and 2013 birth year players who were not ready to commit to the full-time Indiana Elite team this season. 

The goal of this 10U Prospects team is to work in coordination with all  our Indiana associations to provide players with a higher level competition as a supplement to local programming. The IE Prospects will play in one tournament during the regular season and two tournaments in the Spring (March and May). We will also have three development weekends where the team will get together to practice and participate in team building activities with their coaches and guest speakers. 

Cost for the season will be  $1,500/player and includes all ice time, tournament fees, uniforms and team apparel. The only additional cost to families will be individual travel and hotel expenses. 

About the Coach

We are thrilled to announce that Brent Gwidt will coach this year’s team. Brent has coached the Jr Fuel 15U AAA team for the past two seasons. Coach Gwidt grew up in Minocqua, Wisconsin. He played for the Indy Ice in the USHL and earned a scholarship to the University of Nebraska-Omaha (NCAA D1). He was drafted in the 6th round by the Washington Capitals in 2006 and played three years in the ECHL for the Utah Grizzlies ending his playing career as team captain. Brent currently serves as Director of Player and Coach Development for the IYHA in Indianapolis.

In March 2020, representatives from youth hockey organizations across the State of Indiana formed the Indiana State Hockey Association (ISHA). The ISHA is the governing body for both the Indiana Youth Hockey State Championships and the Indiana Elite AAA teams. The eight local hockey organizations from around the state each have a representative who serves on the ISHA Board.

Launched with the 2020-2021 season, the ISHA has offered Indiana Elite AAA hockey as a part-time option for players who are already rostered to a local Indiana hockey team. The Indiana Elite program has provided access to the AAA experience for players in all eight local Indiana organizations. By combining top talent from around the state, Indiana Elite AAA teams have competed with the top programs in the country, and done so as a part-time team.

The Indiana State Hockey Association (ISHA) is excited to announce that beginning with the 2022-2023 season, Indiana Elite AAA will begin offering a full-time team option as well as an Elite Girls travel hockey option. 

“Indiana Elite has shown that by combining the best players from around the state, Indiana has the ability to have a top AAA program not just in this region, but in the country. This opportunity will allow families of top players to play on a full season, Elite AAA team that practices together a majority of the time. And, for the first time, we’re able to bring an elite level of girls travel hockey for top female players in Indiana and surrounding states that don’t have that option locally.” says Derek Edwardson,  ISHA Vice President and Indy Jr. Fuel Director.

With this announcement and endorsement by the ISHA participating organizations, Indiana Elite becomes the state’s only AAA option at 10U-13U. The full-time Indiana Elite AAA program will provide players with over 100 hours of on-ice practice, including 30 hours of professional skills training. Team practices will be held in Indianapolis, conveniently scheduled one-night a week to minimize travel for families; skills and off-ice training will be done at local rinks. The team package also includes a pre-season training camp, five development weekends, and 3 hours of on-ice practice each week. Indiana Elite player fees also provide players with complete uniforms, equipment bags, warm-ups and other IE apparel.

Indiana Elite makes top AAA competition accessible and also affordable for families looking for high-level hockey. The cost of the Indiana Elite AAA program will be one of the most affordable in the region through the support of the teams’ title sponsor, the ECHL’s Indy Fuel. “Indiana Elite powered by Fuel” will be the partnership that takes AAA hockey to a new level in the state of Indiana.

Beginning this coming season, Indiana Elite will compete with these full-time, year-round teams:

• Indiana Elite 16U Girls
• Indiana Elite AAA 2009
• Indiana Elite AAA 2010
• Indiana Elite AAA 2011
• Indiana Elite AAA 2012 

The program will also offer a part-time 14U Girls and 12U Girls team that will compete under the current Indiana Elite format where girls will play for their local programs and get together for high intensity practice weekends and tournaments. 

Tryouts for Indiana Elite AAA teams will be held April 15-16 in Indianapolis. Interested families can click here to register for tryouts https://indianastatehockey.sportngin.com/register/form/133886199.

A parent meeting will be held virtually ahead of tryouts for interested families.
