Each summer, USA Hockey invites players to its National Junior Evaluation Camp/World Junior Summer Showcase. The event is part of the process to select the roster for the IIHF World Junior Championship.  

The 2025 World Junior Summer Showcase, which also included teams from Canada, Finland and Sweden, took place from July 25-August 2 at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Team practices commenced on July 25, while the first games were played July 27.

The Showcase serves as an evaluation for athletes seeking to make their respective national teams for the 2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship that is set for Dec. 26, 2025, through Jan. 5, 2026 in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
