Alexx Privitera has been invited to try out for the US National Team Development
Program for the 2009-2010 season. Alexx has been playing for the Avalanche
for the past 4 years on the 1993 AAA team. Over the past year Alexx
was scouted at many high profile tournaments he attended with his Avalanche team.
Because of his performance in those tournaments the NTDP feels he may be ready to play in Ann Arbor nex
year. Alexx has made 2 trips to the USA Hockey National
Championships most recently with his 1993 Avalanche team in 2008 where he made it
to the Quarter Finals. Alexx has also been a 2 year Varsity player for Bergen
Catholic High School.
The NTDP was started in 1996 to bring the best 17 and 18 years in the
country together to train. The U17 and U18 teams train in Ann Arbor, MI and compete
against the top Junior and College teams in the country. They also play in
International Tournaments throughout the year. The program has had 152 players drafted into
the NHL (31 in the first round) and there are currently 40 former NTDP players in
the NHL. Kevin Clare who previously played for the 1992 Avalanche team is currently the Captain of the NTDP U17 team and is committed to University
of Michigan.
Alexx will be competing with the best 1993 players in the country for a spot on
the USA's U17 team. The tryouts will be later in March in Ann Arbor, MI.
The Avalanche are very proud of Alexx and what he has been able to accomplish.
We wish him luck in tryouts.
