LAST YEAR’S ROSTERS
LAST YEAR’S SCHEDULE

Hockey Night in Boston will conduct our annual Boys Central/West Festival, which will be held from June 17th – June 18th at the Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center – Worcester, MA. This Festival is for Boys entering their Sophomore, Junior, or Senior year in the Fall (PGs at a Prep or Junior program are also eligible). This festival is primarily for boys from the Central/West Massachusetts region, as well as Connecticut, New York, Southern Vermont, and other players that want to participate in an HNIB festival but can’t attend any of the other regional festivals because of their schedule.

At the end of the festival, the HNIB coaching staff will select 35-40 players who will be invited to participate in the 49th Annual Boys Major Showcase.*

*HNIB will be pre-selecting several players who will receive automatic spots in the July showcase based on their play this past season to create the base of many rosters in the showcase. During the round-robin series in the Boys Central/West Festival, players will be evaluated by coaches on the bench and coaches observing off the ice to determine the players who will move on to the Boys Major Showcase and fill the rosters.

To request more information about the Central/West Festival, fill out this form.

The Boys Central/West Festival will take place at the Worcester Ice Center in Worcester, MA.

Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center (WIC) is a state of the art recreational facility for athletes of all ages conveniently located approximately one quarter mile off Route 290 at exit 14 and within 10 minutes of downtown Worcester.

The ice anchors are supported by over ten thousand square feet of two-stories of concessions/ lobby which enables players and patrons to enjoy food and drink during games and practices, as well as a pro shop that sells not only essential products such as laces and tape, body protection equipment and team apparel, but also skate sharpening services.

Our major tenants in the hockey rink are the Worcester Railers Hockey Club (ECHL), Worcester Blades(CWHL), Worcester State University, WPI, Worcester Academy, St Peter-Marian as well as the Junior Railers, and Worcester Railers JHC (EHL). The remaining ice time provides for youth hockey, figure skating, learn to skate programs, sport camps, training programs and adult league play.
