the United States and Canada. It is one of the most highly
scouted summer tournaments in the Country. Our Chowder cup
camp will give 40 players the opportunity to earn a spot on
the Walpole Express Futures team. Players born between 1990
and 1993 will have the chance to compete July 22nd–25th
in this years Chowder Cup. Players will compete in an intense
week of tryouts in front of Junior A coaches. The final tournament
roster will be posted following camp on July 21st. Goalies
will be competing for one of 4 spots on these two teams, and
will be in a TEAM environment trying to build chemistry before
the tournament begins.

WHAT
TO EXPECT:
Goalies will get individual instruction from our staff throughout
the try out camp and will review the daily scrimmages after
they leave the ice to help improve their games. On top of
the practices and daily scrimmages, the goalies will also
have 1-2 hours per day of work in a goaltending setting to
improve their skills--which can and should be applied to the
scrimmages. Each goalie’s session will be tailored to
work and strengthen their weaknesses.
