Conduct Code

The Summer Athletic Programs provide recreational and social opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere. However, participants must follow certain rules which will be explained in the Sunday night lecture session. Chief among these are a ban on the use or possession of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, or illegal drugs. In addition, participants must not leave their groups. Those who fail to follow these rules will be expelled, and the fees paid will be forfeited.

Eligibility

NCAA rules do not allow the Hockey Development Center to accept students who have graduated from high school.

Michigan Tech reserves the right to move students to a higher or lower group for the benefit of the student and the Center. Trades may be made to balance the teams.

Player Evaluations

At the conclusion of school, players will receive evaluations from their instructors. Parents are urged to attend informal conferences with the instructors following Friday's game.

The Off-Ice Training Program also provides a testing evaluation. Players should give their evaluations to their coaches at the beginning of their hockey season.

Medical Services

The Hockey Development Center has certified athletic trainers on staff. The Portage Medical Clinic (906-483-1860), located in the Student Development Complex, offers medical services to students, as well as the public.

Two-Weekers

Students receive excellent supervision during the weekend between sessions. Supervision is free for two-weekers only. Each week of attendance requires a separate application.
